Backroad Memory

(Verse 1)
There’s a dent in my Chevy from the night we got lost
Took the wrong turn laughing, didn’t care what it cost
You were singing out the window, hair flying wild
Lord, you made that old dirt road feel like a mile-wide smile
We’d stop at that gas station just outside of town
Share a cold Coke on the tailgate while the sun went down
Now I pass that place and I still slow down
Like maybe somehow you’ll still be around
(Chorus)
’Cause every backroad memory leads me back to you
Every field, every fence line, every midnight moon
There’s your name in the pine trees, your shadow in the rain
Girl, this whole small town still whispers your name
I moved on the best I can do
But every backroad memory leads me back to you
(Verse 2)
Mama says time’s supposed to heal a heart broke in two
But time ain’t done much except make me miss you
I still keep your picture in the glovebox light
Where I look when these old wheels roll too far at night
And I heard you found somebody up in Tennessee
Hope he knows what you meant to me
Hope he holds you close when the cold wind blows
Like I should’ve done before you let go
(Chorus)
’Cause every backroad memory leads me back to you
Every field, every fence line, every midnight moon
There’s your name in the pine trees, your shadow in the rain
Girl, this whole small town still whispers your name
I moved on the best I can do
But every backroad memory leads me back to you
(Bridge)
If heartbreak had a highway, I done drove it for miles
With your goodbye echoing all the while
And these tires keep turning, but they can’t outrun
The kind of love that burns like a setting sun
(Final Chorus)
Yeah every backroad memory still cuts right through
Like an old Hank song on a worn-out jukebox tune
There’s your laugh in the night wind, your kiss in the dark
Girl, leaving you left a mark on my heart
I guess some roads ain’t made for something new
’Cause every backroad memory leads me back to you
(Outro)
Yeah, every backroad memory…
Leads me back to you.
