Back Roads and Broken Hearts
country soulful acousticLyrics
[Verse]
Well, the sun sinks low behind the hills,
Casting shadows on old rusty mills.
Dusty fields and a lonely creek,
Tell the story of a love we couldn't keep.
[Verse]
Truck tires groan on gravel roads,
Winding past where the wildflower grows.
Your ghost is riding shotgun with me,
In this old Ford that holds our history.
[Chorus]
Back roads and broken hearts,
Memories tug at these torn-apart parts.
Every turn brings a brand-new scar,
In the rearview, we're never too far.
[Verse]
Bar lights flicker like fireflies,
In a honky-tonk where heartache lies.
Whiskey and words we couldn't unsay,
Play on repeat at the end of the day.
[Bridge]
Mornings rise like a sad refrain,
Painting the past with the same old pain.
Empty chairs at the breakfast bar,
Mark the distance between who we are.
[Chorus]
Back roads and broken hearts,
Memories tug at these torn-apart parts.
Every turn brings a brand-new scar,
In the rearview, we're never too far.
