Backroads Take Us Home
Lyrics
Verse 1
Tailgate locked down, gear stacked in the bed
Headlights cut the gravel as the last light fades red
Radio plays low, windows halfway down
Dust kicks up behind us from another small town
Cooler’s almost empty, stories still runnin’ hot
We replay every miss and every perfect shot
Boots still muddy, hands still smell like the lake
These backroads know us, never make us wait [Chorus]
Backroads take us home, twistin’ through the night
Carryin’ tired bodies but the fire burns bright
Every mile marker brings us closer to the door
Backroads take us home, boys, we’ll be back for more
Headlights on the white lines, hearts full and sore
We gave it all today like we always swore
No better feelin’ than this slow roll home
Backroads take us home… where we belong [Verse 2]
Deer cross in front, we tap the brakes real slow
Laugh about the one we almost hit a mile ago
Phone lights up with texts from the wives back home
Supper’s on the table, kids waitin’ by the phone
We talk about next weekend while the engine hums
Plans get bigger every time the tires run
These roads have seen us through the best and worst
They always bring us back to where we started first [Chorus]
Backroads take us home, twistin’ through the night
Carryin’ tired bodies but the fire burns bright
Every mile marker brings us closer to the door
Backroads take us home, boys, we’ll be back for more
Headlights on the white lines, hearts full and sore
We gave it all today like we always swore
No better feelin’ than this slow roll home
Backroads take us home… where we belong [Bridge – heavy build]
The wild stays with us long after we leave
In every scar, every laugh, every memory we keep
We’ll unload the truck, wash the mud away
But the call will hit again before the break of day [Final Chorus – massive]
Backroads take us home! Let the engines sing!
We lived it full out, gave everything
Tomorrow waits but tonight we rest easy
Backroads take us home… till the next sunrise frees me! [Outro]
Backroads… take us home…
