Back Roads Lyrics - Brandon Rhyder

VERSE 1 

The back roads of this county 

Cross like the laces on my boots 

And Ive been running em down 

Since I was able to 

I left home at nineteen, 

Swore I was never coming back 

Nights like this I wish 

Thats where I was at 

CHORUS 

Slow pokin down a blacktop, cutting tires on the white rock 

Theres a party on a dead end road 

Were just hoping that the cops dont show 

Somebody is looking for a fight 

Its gonna be that kind of night 

When I get too far from home 

I go find me a back road 

VERSE 2 

I remember the summer, that I turned sixteen 

I made out with a girl, in the back of her hatchback Chevrolet 

And I drank my first beer, on the Louisiana state line 

My first night to see the other side 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE 

I heard em tell me, son dont forget where you came from 

And I never have, and I still like to beat that drum 

From the river bottoms, to the tall pine trees 

It will forever be right here inside of me 

CHORUS
