Backroads Know My Name (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Windows down on Route Nine gravel

Dust kicking up like a slow reveal

Your hand on the wheel, my knee keeps time

To a song neither one of us can name

Porch light fading in the mirror

Twenty miles of nothing feels like everything

You laugh at my singing, I don't even care

Summer air's got your name

Pre-Chorus

So what do I do with this feeling

Climbing up my chest like the road climbs high

Tell me why every mile we're stealing

Feels like the first time I learned how to fly

Chorus

Backroads know my name now

Every curve, every stop sign

Been running scared my whole life

Till you pulled up beside me

Now the cornfields are singing

Same old song, brand new meaning

Backroads know my name now

'Cause you're the reason

Verse

Gas station coffee, two straws, one cup

You steal the radio, I let you win

Sunset's bleeding orange on the hood of your truck

This is how the good ones begin

Fireflies out past the water tower

Your voice goes soft when the night gets slow

I'm learning you like a favorite song

One I already know

Pre-Chorus

So what do I do with this feeling

Climbing up my chest like the road climbs high

Tell me why every mile we're stealing

Feels like the first time I learned how to fly

Chorus

Backroads know my name now

Every curve, every stop sign

Been running scared my whole life

Till you pulled up beside me

Now the cornfields are singing

Same old song, brand new meaning

Backroads know my name now

'Cause you're the reason

Bridge

Maybe I was always headed

Straight into this red dirt road

Every wrong turn led me

Right where I needed to go

And if the map ran out tomorrow

I'd still choose this way to fall

This dust, this truck, this feeling

I'd drive it through it all

Chorus

Backroads know my name now

Every curve, every stop sign

Been running scared my whole life

Till you pulled up beside me

Now the cornfields are singing

Same old song, brand new meaning

Backroads know my name now

'Cause you're the reason

Yeah, you're the reason
