Well, I packed my bags and I hit the gas,
Chasing down a dream I thought would last.
But the city lights don’t shine as bright,
As the stars that light up these old country nights.
The radio’s playin’ a familiar tune,
Takes me back to those summer afternoons,
When life was simple, and love was real,
Before we learned the heart can heal.
I’m drivin’ down these backroads, where the rivers run slow,
Where the winds still whisper the things I used to know.
Every mile that passes is a memory I can’t leave,
From the first kiss on the porch to the way you made me believe.
Yeah, I’m back where I belong, where the heartaches fade and the good times grow,
Down these backroads, down these backroads.
The fields are golden, the sky’s so wide,
I can feel you here, right by my side.
Every barn and every old oak tree,
Reminds me of the love you gave to me.
We used to dream of forever, you and I,
But sometimes love’s just a lullaby,
It fades like daylight into the night,
But these backroads will always feel right.
I’m drivin’ down these backroads, where the rivers run slow,
Where the winds still whisper the things I used to know.
Every mile that passes is a memory I can’t leave,
From the first kiss on the porch to the way you made me believe.
Yeah, I’m back where I belong, where the heartaches fade and the good times grow,
Down these backroads, down these backroads.
Maybe someday, we’ll find our way,
But for now, I’ll let these roads say,
Everything that words can’t explain—
A little peace and a lot of rain.
I’m drivin’ down these backroads, where the rivers run slow,
Where the winds still whisper the things I used to know.
Every mile that passes is a memory I can’t leave,
From the first kiss on the porch to the way you made me believe.
Yeah, I’m back where I belong, where the heartaches fade and the good times grow,
Down these backroads, down these backroads.
Down these backroads, I’m finally home.
