Backroads
I recall small town stars The radio tower in the reservoir The way it was, the way it goes And the way crazy way you drove Backroads Daredevil on a joyride Thought you were a rebel of some kind Angels watching over all the time Didn't even know Backroads Small town stars That shone and all night only seem to say You are one of our own Hey, you might be someone Some day Heaven was above your head Met you at the Watershed The day thе doors of high school close God opens the window Backroads Say goodbyе to childhood Gettin' wild up in the woods SongtexteDrop the cans when the policemen show And everybody dove Backroads Different cop on a same night Stopped a kid about a tail light Somebody thought it didn't look right Might as well have said he didn't look white Might've rode all night and gone far Had he been ridin' in a different car You and I were in the dark Driving under different stars That shone and all night only seem to say You are one of our own Hey, you might be someone Some day Young, in love and it's down my eyes Never gonna hurt like the first time Pullin' over on a shoulder Let the tears drops roll back Backroads Cliché on the radio Speaking straight to my soul Baby, baby please don't go Don't leave me all alone Backroads But I was not alone I had the stars that shone You are one of our own Hey, you might be someone You got hearts to break You've got mistakes to make You got miles, and miles, and miles to go Backroads Backroads I recall small town stars The radio tower in the reservoir The way it was, the way it goes And the crazy way you drove Aus Songtexte Mania
