Back Roads Lyrics

I heard a Tom Petty song on the radio today

Felt just like a Friday night at a football game

We always left early to make out in your car

Oh we were both free falling

Falling in love

We were tearing up the back roads

Hot breeze blowing in the window

Didn't give a damn about growing old

Just the song on the radio

And every curve felt like a daydream

Our hearts were burning like a CD

I can still see you, do you see me

When you're lost in the melody of a memory

You can't take it with you

At least that's what they say

We burned out that summer and went our separate ways

A friend of ours once told me that you lived in LA

Oh but you were right there with me in that song today

We were tearing up the back roads

Hot breeze blowing in the window

Didn't give a damn about growing old

Just the song on the radio

And every curve felt like a daydream

Our hearts were burning like a CD

I can still see you, do you see me

When you're lost in the melody

We never knew what we would sacrifice

We never knew when it was our last drive

We never knew just how fast time flew

I know we are over but I still think of you

So when you're tearing up the back roads

Hot breeze blowing in the window

You feel like taking the long way home

Turn up the radio

And if you're ever in a daydream

Your heart starts burning like a CD

I can still hear you, do you hear me

Singing the melody of a memory

Of a memory yeah

Of a memory

Of a memory

I heard a Tom Petty song on the radio today
