THE BACKROADS
Jared Payne/Kristy Jackson

She said something about a backroad
And how she had never seen a field of gold
I said I’d love to show you around

She said her folks just moved down here
Late last month for her senior year
She’s never seen a town like this

I drive a ’95 pickup truck, 
You can hop on in , I know it ain’t much  
But it gets me where I need to go

I said I’d show her my favorite spot if she’s ok with that
She climbed on in and tossed her feet up on the dash

And she said,
Take me anywhere you want to
As far as we can see
Cause Caroline to Arizona
It all looks the same to me
I just smiled and said you better hold on tight
There’s nothing like the backroads kind of life

I drove her out past Miller’s creek
Down dusty roads and fields of wheat
I looked across and caught her smile

She laughed and rolled her window down
Said there’s a chance for this ole town
I hope that had something to do with me

And she said,
Take me anywhere you want to
As far as we can see
Cause Caroline to Arizona
It all looks the same to me
I just smiled and said you better hold on tight
There’s nothing like the backroads kind of life

Sometimes it’s the long way that makes a sweeter life
It sure was for the both of us cause now that girl’s my wife

She said something ‘bout a backroad
She said something ‘bout a backroad
