Backroads back to me

“Backroads Back to Me”

Verse 1

I was sitting on the tailgate crying in the rain

Mascara on my blue jeans, heartache in my veins

He said forever easy, then he disappeared

Left me with a broken trust and a fridge full of beer

All my friends kept saying, “Girl, you’ll be alright”

But every little memory kept me up all night

I quit wearing dresses, quit dancing downtown

Thought love was just another thing that let me down

Pre-Chorus

Then you walked in slow like a song on the radio

Smiling like you already knew my soul

Chorus

You put the color back in my Friday nights

Turned my tears into porch swing lights

Now I’m laughing with your hand in mine

Windows down under county line signs

You showed up when my world went dark

Lit a little fire back up in my heart

Yeah, I thought goodbye was all love could be

Then you came riding those backroads back to me

Verse 2

You don’t say forever like it’s just a line

You show up on time and you hold me tight

You kiss me in the kitchen while the coffee brews

Make me believe in something honest and true

Now I sing louder with the FM on

Don’t even think about the nights he was gone

Funny how a heartbreak can lead you somewhere

To the one good thing you never saw coming there

Pre-Chorus

Ain’t it crazy how a shattered heart can heal

When somebody finally makes it feel real

Chorus

You put the color back in my Friday nights

Turned my tears into porch swing lights

Now I’m laughing with your hand in mine

Windows down under county line signs

You showed up when my world went dark

Lit a little fire back up in my heart

Yeah, I thought goodbye was all love could be

Then you came riding those backroads back to me

Bridge

Now the stars hit different on a summer night

And I don’t jump every time my phone lights

‘Cause your love ain’t games, ain’t lies, ain’t leaving

It’s slow dancing barefoot, steady believing

Final Chorus

You put the color back in my small-town skies

Made me see myself through better eyes

Now every sunset feels like a brand new start

With your name written across my heart

Yeah, losing him was hurting deep

But it led your love straight to me

And for the first time I can finally breathe

Ever since you came riding those backroads back to me

Outro

Yeah, you came riding those backroads back to me…

And brought this broken girl back to life.
