Backroad Goodbye

[Verse 1]
You left your red dress on that old chair
Coffee cup stain in the shape of a heart
Your hair tie’s hangin’ from my rearview
Guess all that’s left of you is these little parts
[Chorus]
You broke my heart on a Sunday drive
Right where the blacktop hits that county line
Said you’re chasin’ dreams, I’m just chasin’ time
Yeah, I’m twenty‑five and runnin’ on why’s
You took forever, left your goodbye
Now every backroad feels like that night
You broke my heart on a Sunday drive
[Verse 2]
Your mama still asks how I’ve been doin’
I just smile, kick dust off my boots
Barstool talk says you’re out there movin’
While I’m stuck drownin’ in the truth
[Chorus]
You broke my heart on a Sunday drive
Right where the blacktop hits that county line
Said you’re chasin’ dreams, I’m just chasin’ time
Yeah, I’m twenty‑five and runnin’ on why’s
You took forever, left your goodbye
Now every backroad feels like that night
You broke my heart on a Sunday drive
[Bridge]
Radio’s playin’ some old love song (oh no)
I kill the lights, can’t sing along
I keep your picture in my wallet, folded
Like the words I never said, still holdin’
[Chorus]
You broke my heart on a Sunday drive
Right where the blacktop hits that county line
Said you’re chasin’ dreams, I’m just chasin’ time
Yeah, I’m twenty‑five and runnin’ on why’s
You took forever, left your goodbye
Now every backroad feels like that night
You broke my heart on a Sunday drive

country, Modern country ballad with male vocals; gentle acoustic guitar and warm piano upfront, soft brushed drums entering after the first chorus. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; choruses lift with steel guitar swells and stacked harmonies. Subtle bass glues the low end, with a brief stripped bridge before a final, emotional chorus.
