’97 Chevy Backroad Heart

[Intro]
Dust on the dash
Mud on the chrome
Same little road
That raised me grown (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Bench seat cracked
Headliner saggin’
Old blue paint
But the heart still draggin’
Got a cooler in the back
And a plan to get lost
Gas gauge broke
We just countin’ on God
Tailgate rattlin’
To the beat of our laugh
You leanin’ in close
Bare feet on the glass (woah)
[Chorus]
In my old ’97 Chevy on the backroad
Windows down, let the summer air roll
You singin’ off-key to the radio
Hair in your eyes, sayin’ “don’t go slow”
Every curve writein’ you and me
Right there in the dust like a memory
If this tank runs dry, I still ain’t ready
To let go of you
Or my old ’97 Chevy
[Verse 2]
I’m like
Click-clack keys, V8 pray it starts
Two lane lane, that’s where I park my heart
You on my right side, legs on my lap
Turn that cap back, you laugh when I rap
Talk big city, but your roots run deep
Small town queen in a faded white tee
I’m the kid with the truck and a dream too loud
You said, “Drive ‘til the stars drown out the clouds” (hey!)
[Chorus]
In my old ’97 Chevy on the backroad
Windows down, let the summer air roll
You singin’ off-key to the radio
Hair in your eyes, sayin’ “don’t go slow”
Every curve writein’ you and me
Right there in the dust like a memory
If this tank runs dry, I still ain’t ready
To let go of you
Or my old ’97 Chevy
[Bridge]
Someday get a new truck
Big screen, leather
But it won’t hit
Like broke-down weather
First kiss fog on the cracked glass window
First “I love you” where the cornfields grow
If I lose that road, I lose my way
So I keep turnin’ down that same red clay (yeah)
[Chorus]
In my old ’97 Chevy on the backroad
Windows down, let the summer air roll
You singin’ off-key to the radio
Hair in your eyes, sayin’ “don’t go slow”
Every curve writein’ you and me
Right there in the dust like a memory
If this tank runs dry, I still ain’t ready
To let go of you
Or my old ’97 Chevy (my old ’97 Chevy)
To let go of you
Or my old ’97 Chevy (oh yeah)

Verses lean into rhythmic rap flow with tight rhyme schemes; choruses bloom into big melodic pop-country vocals with stacked harmonies. Occasional slide guitar licks answer vocal phrases; energy builds from laid-back first verse to an anthemic final chorus. Male vocals with a conversational drawl and catchy ad-libs., pop, country
