[Verse 1]
Small town Friday
Red dirt on my shoes
You walked in
Cutoffs
Cherry on your booze
You said
"Play somethin' dumb
I wanna scream along"
Next thing I know
We’re front row in your mom’s old Ford
[Pre-Chorus]
You got your feet on my dash
Turnin' that volume to max
Laughin' so hard that we crash
Right into somethin' that lasts
[Chorus]
We went from two-lane roads to the big lights
From a broke-down bar to a late flight
Got your hand in mine
Windows down
Hearts up high
You’re my backroad to the big lights
From a shotgun seat to my whole life
Every mile we ride
You turn my wrong to right
You’re my backroad
My backroad to the big lights
[Verse 2]
Hotel lobby
Smell of perfume and smoke
Tattooed wristband hangin’ off your coat
You still steal my cap
Spin circles in my shirt
But you kiss like summer in that old church dirt
[Pre-Chorus]
We got the city on fade
Still tastein' home in your name
Baby
The fame and the stage
Could never outshine what we made
[Chorus]
We went from two-lane roads to the big lights
From a broke-down bar to a late flight
Got your hand in mine
Windows down
Hearts up high
You’re my backroad to the big lights
From a shotgun seat to my whole life
Every mile we ride
You turn my wrong to right
You’re my backroad
My backroad to the big lights
[Bridge]
Yeah
We still pull off on the side of the road (oh yeah)
Park it on the edge just to talk real slow
Doesn’t matter where this crazy thing goes
If I’m lost in you
Then I’m already home
[Chorus]
We went from two-lane roads to the big lights
From a broke-down bar to a late flight
Got your hand in mine
Windows down
Hearts up high
You’re my backroad to the big lights
From a shotgun seat to my whole life
Every mile we ride
You turn my wrong to right
You’re my backroad
My backroad to the big lights
(Yeah you’re my backroad)
My backroad to the big lights
