Every Backroad Leads To You (Version 2)

Verse

Windows down on Cedar Line Road

Dust behind us like a rodeo

Your hand out the window catching air

Radio static, don't even care

You said turn left where the silo leans

I didn't ask what that road means

But something in me already knew

Pre-Chorus

Every mile we make

Feels like something's breaking open

Is it the whiskey talkin'

Or the way you're not stopping

Chorus

Every backroad leads to you

Gravel, ditch weed, sky gone blue

Doesn't matter where I aim this truck

Every stop sign, every crossroad, every rusted-out truck bed too

I could drive till Tuesday, still come through

Straight to you

Verse

Porch light on at your mama's place

Moths and mosquitoes, your sundress lace

You handed me a mason jar of tea

Sat down close like it was meant to be

Cricket static, engine ticking cool

Nineteen and stupid, breaking every rule

But my heart don't care what's smart to do

Pre-Chorus

Every mile we make

Feels like something's breaking open

Is it the whiskey talkin'

Or the way you're not stopping

Chorus

Every backroad leads to you

Gravel, ditch weed, sky gone blue

Doesn't matter where I aim this truck

Every stop sign, every crossroad, every rusted-out truck bed too

I could drive till Tuesday, still come through

Straight to you

Bridge

Maybe it was never about the drive

Maybe I was just trying to stay alive

Out here where the map runs thin

You're the only compass I trust within

No GPS could ever spell it plain

It's just your name, again, again

Chorus

Every backroad leads to you

Gravel, ditch weed, sky gone blue

Doesn't matter where I aim this truck

Every stop sign, every crossroad, every rusted-out truck bed too

I could drive till Tuesday, still come through

Straight to you

Straight to you
