Backroads Lyrics

Coping comes when I turn that key

To forget the way you looked at me

Label drinking

To get you off my mind

Strands of hair sitting next to me

Only part of you that didn't leave

Covered by that box of health to medicate

Yeah I'll medicate

Headlights in a nothing town

Blasting noise all the way just to drown out sounds

Of painful cries

Of you not with me

Just a simple man of black and white

Who promised you a better life

That you tossed away

So now I'll go back

Back to drivin'

Back to cryin'

Back to my home

Back on the backroads

Back on the

Backroads are talking to me late at night

From downing all them drinks

To getting too high

'Cause when you left me for another man

I slammed another twelve as fast as I can

To feel numb

To everything we had

I just want it back the way it was

Without you repeating all my past

Headlights in a nothing town

Blasting noise all the way just to drown out sounds

Of painful cries

Of you not with me

Just a simple man of black and white

Who promised you a better life

That you tossed away

So now I'll go back

Back to drivin'

Back to cryin'

Back to my home

Back on the backroads

Are made for you and me

To bandage up what you don't see

'Cause I hide myself

To keep from being hurt

But I pushed myself to let you in

Just for you to go behind my back again

And I know

That pushing it down just makes it worse

(Oh yeah it makes it worse)

But I'm flashing my

Headlights in a nothing town

Trying everything I can just to get you out of my head

'Cause you're not coming back

And I knew our time was set in stone

In the moments where I took too long

To open up

But I'm not made for that

Back to drivin'

Back to cryin'

Back to my home

Back on the backroads
