Backwoods Racing

Verse 1
Back in the hills of West Virginia
Midnight runs and a mason jar shine
White oak barrels in the bed of a Ford
Hopin’ tonight we’d beat the county line
Blue lights flash through pinewood smoke
Tach needle shakin’ like our hands
Every curve taught us how to drive
Every mile just tryin’ to be men
Pre-Chorus
Every chase made us faster still
Learned how to fly by learnin’ hills
Chorus
We were born outta backroads, dust and fear
Moonshine runnin’ just to make it another year
From hollers and hills to checkered flags
Foot to the floor, never lookin’ back
They tried to slow us, tried to shut us down
But you can’t stop a fast-beatin’ sound
From West Virginia clay to Alabama ground
That’s how legends roll
Hook (Post-Chorus)
Backroads to race roads
That’s how legends roll
Verse 2
Crossed that line into Alabama
Same old cars, just runnin’ mean
Still smell the gas and corn mash
Mixed with dreams we’d never seen
Crowds showed up along the fences
Betting cash on who’d survive
Same boys runnin’ from the law
Now racin’ daylight, side by side
Pre-Chorus
What started runnin’ just to live
Turned into somethin’ we couldn’t quit
Chorus
We were born outta backroads, dust and fear
Moonshine runnin’ just to make it another year
From hollers and hills to checkered flags
Foot to the floor, never lookin’ back
They tried to slow us, tried to shut us down
But you can’t stop a fast-beatin’ sound
From West Virginia clay to Alabama ground
That’s how legends roll
Hook (Post-Chorus)
Backroads to race roads
That’s how legends roll
Bridge
Now the tracks are paved and the cars shine bright
But I still hear sirens when the green flag flies
Ghosts of the runners ridin’ shotgun still
In every lap around that wheel
Final Chorus
We were born outta backroads, dust and fear
Moonshine runnin’ just to make it another year
From hollers and hills to checkered flags
Foot to the floor, never lookin’ back
They tried to slow us, tried to shut us down
But you can’t stop a fast-beatin’ sound
From West Virginia clay to Alabama ground
That’s how legends roll
Outro / Hook
