Backroads and Broken Hearts

Dusty boots on a gravel road,

Sun sinking low, got no place to go.

Your memory’s hanging in the summer air,

I still hear your laugh, feel you everywhere.

Backroads and broken hearts,

Moonlight shining where we used to start.

I’m chasing shadows of your smile,

Driving these miles, just to feel alive a while.

Backroads and broken hearts,

Whiskey kisses, teardrops in the dark.

I’ll keep on rolling where the wild wind blows,

Till the pain fades and the morning shows.

Tailgate down, radio’s singing low,

Old songs that only we used to know.

Stars above like a map to yesterday,

But every turn just takes me further away.

Backroads and broken hearts,

Moonlight shining where we used to start.

I’m chasing shadows of your smile,

Driving these miles, just to feel alive a while.

Backroads and broken hearts,

Whiskey kisses, teardrops in the dark.

I’ll keep on rolling where the wild wind blows,

Till the pain fades and the morning shows.

Maybe someday, I’ll find a brand-new sky,

But tonight I’m stuck where your love said goodbye.

Every mile marker feels like a goodbye too,

But these backroads keep bringing me back to you.

Backroads and broken hearts,

Moonlight shining where we used to start.

I’m chasing shadows of your smile,

Driving these miles, just to feel alive a while.

Backroads and broken hearts,

Whiskey kisses, teardrops in the dark.

I’ll keep on rolling where the wild wind blows,

Till the pain fades and the morning shows.

Dusty boots on a gravel road,

Sun coming up, I’m letting you go.
