Backroads (Feat. Asa) - Connor Brandt

I recall small town stars The radio tower in the reservoir The way it was The way it goes And the way crazy way you drove Backroads Daredevil on a joyride Thought you were a rebel of some kind Angels watching over all the time Didn't even know Backroads Small town stars That shone and all night only seem to say You are one of our own Hey, you might be someone Someday Heaven was above your head Met you at the Watershed The day the doors of high school close God opens the window Backroads Say goodbye to childhood Getting wild up in the woods Drop the cans when the policemen show And everybody dove Backroads Different cop on the same night Stopped a kid about a tail light Somebody thought it didn't look right Might as well have said he didn't look white Might've rode all night, might've gone far Had he been riding in a different car You and I were in the dark Driving under different stars That shone and all night only seem to stay You are one of our own Hey, you might be someone Someday Young, in love and it's down my eyes Never gonna hurt like the first time Pulling over on a shoulder Let the tears drops roll Backroads Cliché on the radio Speaking straight to my soul Baby, baby please don't go Don't leave me all alone Backroads But I was not alone I had the stars that shone You are one of our own Hey, you might be someone You got hearts to break You've got mistakes to make You got miles And miles And miles to go Backroads Backroads I recall small town stars The radio tower in the reservoir The way it was The way it goes And the crazy way you drove

Come over?" "Yeah, ten-four Sodbuster Listen, ya wanna put that microbus in behind that suicide jockey?" "Yeah he's haulin' dynamite and he needs all the help he can get" Oh we laid a strip for the Jersey Shore And prepared to cross the line I could see the bridge was lined with bears But I didn't have a doggone dime I says, "Pigpen this here's Rubber Duck We just ain't gonna pay no toll" So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight I says, "Let them truckers roll, ten-four" 'Cause we got a mighty convoy rockin' through the night Yeah we got a mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight? Come on and join our convoy ain't nothin' gonna get in our way We gonna roll this truckin' convoy across the USA Convoy "Ah, ten-four Pigpen. What's your twenty? OMAHA?"
