Backroads and Broken Strings Lyrics

I grew up where the fields meet the sky

With a six-string guitar and a fire in my eye.

Daddy said "Son don't you chase empty dreams"

But I found you there on those backroad scenes.

You were the girl with the sundress sway

Stealing my heart every summer day.

Backroads and broken strings

Your love's the song my soul still sings.

Under the stars where the fireflies glow

You and me we were born to roam.

With a little heartache and a whole lot of dreams

We found love on backroads and broken strings.

We'd sneak off to that old river bend

Where the world felt small and time wouldn't end.

Your laughter echoed through the canyon walls

Like the sweetest melody I'd ever recall.

I played for you on that old guitar

Sang about love and chasing the stars.

Backroads and broken strings

Your love's the song my soul still sings.

Under the stars where the fireflies glow

You and me we were born to roam.

With a little heartache and a whole lot of dreams

We found love on backroads and broken strings.

Life took us down some rocky trails

But we held tight when the wind would wail.

Through the hard times the tears and the fight

Your love was the chord that kept me alive.

Backroads and broken strings

Your love's the song my soul still sings.

Under the stars where the fireflies glow

You and me we were born to roam.

With a little heartache and a whole lot of dreams

We found love on backroads and broken strings.

Now the strings are worn and the backroads fade

But your hand in mine is where I'll stay.

From the first note to the final refrain

Backroads and broken strings keep calling our names.
