Back Roads and Better Days

Verse 1

There’s a stretch of gravel road past the old county line

Where the world slows down and the stars still shine

We’d park by the fence where the fields run wide

Talk about forever with your hand in mine

Chorus

Back roads and better days, that’s where my heart still goes

Where love was simple and time moved slow

No big city lights, just a pale moon glow

Back roads and better days… that’s all I know

Verse 2

Your daddy didn’t like me, said I wasn’t your kind

But you just laughed and said, “He’ll come around in time”

We were young and stubborn, thought love would win

Never dreamed how the story would end

Chorus

Back roads and better days, that’s where my heart still goes

Where love was simple and time moved slow

No big city lights, just a pale moon glow

Back roads and better days… that’s all I know

Bridge

Now that road’s still there, but you’re long gone

And I drive it alone with the radio on

Chorus

Back roads and better days, that’s where my heart still goes

Where love was simple and time moved slow

No big city lights, just a pale moon glow

Back roads and better days… that’s all I know

Outro

Yeah, I still chase them every now and then…

Back roads and better days again…
