Dusty dashboard faded map tucked in the side
Engine humming softly as the daylight starts to die
Rolling past the city limits where the true life begins
On these backroads where my heart finds peace within
Backroads freedom under wide-open skies
Chasing horizons where the old river lies
Tail lights fading from the life I leave behind
Backroads freedom unwind my mind
Fields of gold and skies painted with fire
Old songs playing stirring deep desire
Windows down the wind whispers like an old friend
These backroads know they mend what's broken again
Backroads freedom under wide-open skies
Chasing horizons where the old river lies
Tail lights fading from the life I leave behind
Backroads freedom unwind my mind
No streetlights here just the stars to guide my way
Lost and found in the night as I stray
The moon's my companion in this simple delight
Finding myself in the freedom of the night
Backroads freedom under wide-open skies
Chasing horizons where the old river lies
Tail lights fading from the life I leave behind
Backroads freedom unwind my mind
Morning comes with the scent of the pine
Sunrise hues over the county line
Each mile traveled is a memory made
On these backroads my worries start to fade
Backroads freedom under wide-open skies
Chasing horizons where the old river lies
Tail lights fading from the life I leave behind
Backroads freedom unwind my mind
So I drive let the miles roll on under these wheels
Backroads freedom it's the best way to heal
