Backroads and Heartbeats

Verse 1
I was raised where the fields touch the sky,
Old dirt roads where the pickup rides by.
Mama’s voice on the porch every night,
Stars above and the fireflies’ light.

Pre-Chorus
The city’s too loud, it don’t feel like me,
I need that river, I need to be free.

Chorus
Backroads and heartbeats, that’s where I belong,
Whiskey at midnight, the radio on.
Love in the moonlight, sweet as a song,
Backroads and heartbeats, carrying me on.

Verse 2
Boots in the dust and a hand I can hold,
Stories get better the longer they’re told.
Life feels right when it’s simple and true,
Every sunset’s painting a sky made for you.

Pre-Chorus
When the highway calls, I know where I’ll be,
Chasing that horizon where my soul runs free.

Chorus (repeat)
Backroads and heartbeats, that’s where I belong,
Whiskey at midnight, the radio on.
Love in the moonlight, sweet as a song,
Backroads and heartbeats, carrying me on.

Bridge
Maybe someday we’ll leave this small town,
Or maybe we’ll stay and just dance around.
But wherever I go, I’m never alone,
As long as the backroads are leading me home.

Final Chorus
Backroads and heartbeats, that’s where I belong,
Stories and laughter, all night long.
Love in the moonlight, sweet as a song,
Backroads and heartbeats, carrying me on.
