Backroad Crossroads LLY

Verse 1

Back home

Red clay on the tires

I keep thinking about that Monday

Rain falling sideways

They saw the glass

They saw the metal

It didn't feel real

Nothing feels real

Chorus

Gone too soon on a backroad

Gone too soon on a backroad

My brother

My blood

Everything changed at the crossroads

I’m missing you

I’m missing you

I’m missing you

Verse 2

Seventy-five

Doing ninety

Engine screaming

Tires dreaming of a dry patch

I should have called

I should have come

I should have stayed

Big brother

Stronger

Faster

Laughter turned to heavy silence

Wreckage in the pines

Tears in the pines

God took the wheel and headed north

Chorus

Gone too soon on a backroad

Gone too soon on a backroad

My brother

My blood

Everything changed at the crossroads

I’m missing you

I’m missing you missing you

I’m missing you

Bridge

Still waiting for the headlights

Still waiting for the screen to light up

Still waiting for the door to swing

Empty porch

Empty chair

Empty prayers

Left us in the dust

Left us in the dark

Left us in the dirt

Chorus

Gone too soon on a backroad

Gone too soon on a backroad

My brother

My blood

Everything changed at the crossroads

I’m missing you

I’m missing you

I’m missing you

Outro

Keep driving

Keep living

Keep crying

Till we meet again

Till the road ends

Rest easy

Rest easy

Rest easy
