Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Paper cup coffee
Shaky hands, second chance
Sun coming up
Through a rehab window glass
Your picture in my wallet
Creased and fading at the fold
I’d traded you for bottles
And every lie I ever told
[Chorus]
But there's a backroad back to you
Gravel flying off these worn-out boots
I was lost in that black and blue
Now I’m running toward the truth
I don't want the man I was
I want the man you always knew
Baby, I'm finding redemption
On this backroad back to you
[Verse 2]
White church on the hillside
Pastor nods as I walk in
Muddy jeans, busted pride
Sitting in the second bench
I circle your old number
On a napkin from the store
Practice what I'll tell you
Right outside your daddy's porch
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a backroad back to you
Gravel flying off these worn-out boots
I was lost in that black and blue
Now I’m running toward the truth
I don't want the man I was
I want the man you always knew
Baby, I'm finding redemption
On this backroad back to you
[Bridge]
I poured it down the drain
All those ghosts I used to chase
One by one, I say their names
Let 'em fade, let 'em fade (oh)
If you open up that door
You won’t see him anymore
Just a man on your front porch
Ready to be yours
[Chorus]
There's a backroad back to you
Gravel flying off these worn-out boots
I was lost in that black and blue
Now I’m standing in front of you
I’m not the man I was
But I’m the man you always knew
Baby, we’re writing redemption
On this backroad back to you
