Backroad Radio

[Verse 1]
Dust flying up from an old dirt road
Got the headlights cutting where the creek grass grows
A couple friends riding shotgun tonight
Chasing that sunset fading out of sight
Got a cooler in the back and a tank half full
Small town station on the dashboard dial
Every song takes me somewhere I've been
Makes me wanna roll those windows down again

[Pre-Chorus]
That old speaker crackles
Like it knows my name
Every melody's a memory
Calling me again

[Chorus]
Turn that backroad radio up loud
Let the speakers shake this old truck now
Got the windows down and the stars coming out
Yeah we're singing every word and every line somehow
Ain't trying to get nowhere tonight
Just chasing songs and fading daylight
When life gets heavy this is where I go
Me and that backroad radio

[Verse 2]
There's a field out west where we used to park
Talking 'bout forever underneath the dark
First kiss memories still hanging around
Every mile marker brings another one back somehow
A little George Jones and a little Springsteen
A little hometown heartbreak in between
Every station playing pieces of my soul
Like the soundtrack of the roads I've always known

[Pre-Chorus]
That old speaker crackles
Like it knows my story
Every song keeps turning pages
In my Tennessee glory

[Chorus]
Turn that backroad radio up loud
Let the speakers shake this old truck now
Got the windows down and the stars coming out
Yeah we're singing every word and every line somehow
Ain't trying to get nowhere tonight
Just chasing songs and fading daylight
When life gets heavy this is where I go
Me and that backroad radio

[Bridge]
Some songs take me back to Friday nights
Some songs bring back old neon lights
Some songs remind me where I belong
And why this town still feels like home
Yeah the world keeps changing every day
But these old songs never fade away

[Final Chorus]
Turn that backroad radio up loud
Let the speakers shake this old truck now
Got the windows down and the stars coming out
Yeah we're singing every word and every line somehow
Ain't trying to get nowhere tonight
Just chasing songs and fading daylight
When life gets heavy this is where I go
Me and that backroad radio

[Outro]
Just me and that backroad radio
Rolling down roads only we know
One more song before we head back home
Me and that backroad radio
