Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Red dirt on my tailgate Coffee in a paper cup Sun sneakin’ over that cornfield Yeah, it’s already lookin’ up Old dog ridin’ shotgun Boots tappin’ dust on the floor Got a half-tank, whole lot of freedom Rollin’ out my front door [Chorus] Backroad feels brand new Same old map, but the sky’s more blue Got a little more hope, little less hurt Laughin’ at the past in a faded shirt If the world goes wrong, I’ll still have you Singin’ off-key to an old tune Heart wide open in this truck-for-two Backroad feels brand new (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Mailbox leans like it’s tired Kids’ names carved in that oak Mama’s voice on my voicemail Sayin’ “come by for Sunday roast” We pull off by the river Skip stones, talk honest and loud Kiss tastes sweet as that summer wind You spin in your hand-me-down gown (hey) [Chorus] Backroad feels brand new Same old map, but the sky’s more blue Got a little more hope, little less hurt Laughin’ at the past in a faded shirt If the world goes wrong, I’ll still have you Singin’ off-key to an old tune Heart wide open in this truck-for-two Backroad feels brand new [Bridge] Who said simple can’t save you Who said small towns can’t surprise You take my hand at that four-way stop And the whole day comes alive (woah) [Chorus] Backroad feels brand new Same old map, but the sky’s more blue Got a little more hope, little less hurt Dancin’ in the dust of a spinning world If the world goes wrong, I’ll still have you Singin’ off-key to an old tune Every little mile says “me and you” Backroad feels brand new
