Backroads and Sunbeams

Kickin' gravel down the county line

Dust rising slow behind my mind

Telecaster ringing with a shine

Old radio playing stories of our time

While the sun delivers gold through window panes

Every mile’s got a memory fading

Like the lines trailing off behind me

I roll and smile, let the wind do the waiting

Nothing loud, just a quiet decree

Backroads and sunbeams dancing on chrome

Easy talks and a place to call home

Warm breeze laughing while dreams gently roam

I'm riding low, letting go, nowhere else to go

Heartland beat pulsing soft below

Road signs flicker, faded like the years

Honky-tonk piano chimes away my fears

Still got that weathered grin, cheers to souvenirs

Glockenspiel accents the echoes in my ears

Sax fills the silence, brief and clear

Every mile’s got a memory fading

Like the lines trailing off behind me

I roll and smile, let the wind do the waiting

Nothing loud, just a quiet decree

Backroads and sunbeams dancing on chrome

Easy talks and a place to call home

Warm breeze laughing while dreams gently roam

I'm riding low, letting go, nowhere else to go

Heartland beat pulsing soft below

Let the river twist where it wants to flow

Round bass thumping under hopes I know

Stories told in dusty undertones

Each note a step I’ve known

And the highway hums with the seeds we’ve sown

Backroads and sunbeams dancing on chrome

Easy talks and a place to call home

Warm breeze laughing while dreams gently roam

I'm riding low, letting go, nowhere else to go

Heartland beat pulsing soft belowNight falls slow and I tip my hat

Another day, another tale to unpack
