Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Raised on gravel, dust, and pine Small-town stars were my streetlights Backroads taught me how to dream Till Uncle Sam came calling me Pre-Chorus I traded cornfields for desert sand A rifle in place of a plow in my hands Chorus From the backroads to the Rockies, I carried it all Through the battles and the heartache, I stood tall Now I’m home where the sun sets red and gold Over mountains that feel like a hand to hold Yeah, I’ve seen the world, but what I missed most Was Colorado skies and the backroads I know Verse 2 Letters home kept my heart alive Through the nights I prayed I’d survive Brothers in arms, we fought and bled Dreaming of home in the Rockies ahead Pre-Chorus When that plane touched down, I kissed the ground Thanked the Lord for bringing me ‘round Chorus From the backroads to the Rockies, I carried it all Through the battles and the heartache, I stood tall Now I’m home where the sun sets red and gold Over mountains that feel like a hand to hold Yeah, I’ve seen the world, but what I missed most Was Colorado skies and the backroads I know Bridge Freedom ain’t free, I’ve seen the cost But I’d do it again for the ones we lost Now every mile that I drive feels blessed Through the mountain air and a sunset’s rest Final Chorus From the backroads to the Rockies, I carried it all Through the battles and the heartache, I stood tall Now I’m home where the sun sets red and gold Over mountains that heal a weary soul Yeah, I’ve seen the world, but what I missed most Was Colorado skies and the backroads I know Outro Backroads and sunsets, the Rockies at night That’s where my heart has always shined bright
