Lyrics: Backroads Of My Memory

On the backroads of my memory

There's a truck bed loaded down

Leaving town with a six-string, a suit case

A pipe dream, and a heartache to sing about


Worn tires on a two-night drive to Nashville

Trying to make a name in that night life

Chasin' that neon rainbow in honky tonks

And getting lost in them lower Broadway lights

They're still burning in my mind


You can't stop those wheels from turning 'round

You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah

Some things fade out with the winds of yesterday

Some things are always there every time I drive by

On the backroads of my memory


I'm hanging on to her at every curve

And I'm right back to a slow song on the radio

Learning everything we didn't know

Feels so right, got you on my mind right now

Ain't it funny how


You can't stop those wheels from turning 'round

You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah

Some things fade out with the winds of yesterday

Some things are always there every time I drive by

On the backroads of my memory


On the backroads of my memory

There's a couple turns I could've made

Maybe missed all those dead ends, kept a few friends

But then again, I might've missed a ride along the way

A ride along the way, yeah


You can't stop those wheels from turning 'round

You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah

Some things fade out with the winds of yesterday

Some things are always there every time I drive by

On the backroads of my memory

On the backroads of my memory

On the backroads of my memory
