Back Road with Kelly Marie

[Verse 1]
Dust on the dash
Two cups of drive‑thru sweet tea
Radio low
Your bare feet on my front seat
Kelly Marie
Laughing at the way I miss my turn
Gravel pops
Fireflies float and the headlights burn
[Chorus]
Back road with Kelly Marie
Moon hanging low like it’s just for me
Horses in the pasture, kicking up the dark
Cowboys in the distance, singing to the stars
Life feels simple, life feels free
On this back road with Kelly Marie
[Verse 2]
You lean in close
Point out a shot-up fence sign
Say, “One more mile
And the creek runs cold and fine”
Boots on the floor
Your hat tipped over your eyes
I steal a kiss
You steal my breath, I lose track of time
[Chorus]
Back road with Kelly Marie
Moon hanging low like it’s just for me
Horses in the pasture, kicking up the dark
Cowboys in the distance, singing to the stars
Life feels simple, life feels free
On this back road with Kelly Marie
[Bridge]
We ain’t got much
But we got this truck and a summer night (oh yeah)
If this is all
I swear it’s more than enough, feels right
Horses running wild out there
My heart running wild in here
Say you’ll ride
Say you’ll ride for years and years
[Chorus]
Back road with Kelly Marie
Moon hanging low like it’s just for me
Horses in the pasture, kicking up the dark
Cowboys in the distance, singing to the stars
Life feels simple, life feels free
On this back road with Kelly Marie
Yeah, life feels simple, life feels free
On this back road with Kelly Marie

country, Black country soul groove with swung drums, warm Hammond organ, twangy electric and acoustic guitars, male vocals, stacked gospel-style harmonies on the hook; verses stay easy and head-noddy, chorus lifts with handclaps and a brighter chord change, subtle pedal steel fills and tambourine to keep it upbeat and riding, light, soul, theme
