Backroads

Anaïs Mitchell

[Verse 1]
I recall small town stars
The radio tower in the reservoir
The way it was, the way it goes
And the crazy way you drove
Backroads

[Verse 2]
Daredevil on a joyride
Thought you were a rebel of some kind
Angels watching over all the time
Didn't even know
Backroads

[Chorus]
Small town stars
That shone and all night long they seem to say
You are one of our own
Hey, you might be someone
Some day

[Verse 3]
Heaven was above your head
Met you at the Watershed
Thе day the doors of high school close
God opens thе window
Backroads

[Verse 4]
Say goodbye to childhood
Gettin' wild up in the woods
Drop the cans when the policeman showed
And everybody dove
Backroads

[Bridge]
Different cop on the same night
Stopped a kid about a tail light
Somebody thought it didn't look right
Might as well have said he didn't look white
Might've rode all night and gone far
Had he been ridin' in a different car
You and I were in the dark
Driving under different stars

[Chorus]
That shone and all night long they seem to say
You are one of our own
Hey, you might be someone
Some day

[Verse 5]
Young, in love and it stung my eyes
Never gonna hurt like the first time
Pullin' over on a shoulder
Let the tears drops roll
Backroads

[Verse 6]
Cliché on the radio
Speaking straight to my soul
Baby, baby please don't go
Don't leave me all alone
Backroads

[Chorus]
But I was not alone
I had the stars that shone
You are one of our own
Hey, you might be someone
You got hearts to break
You've got mistakes to make
You got miles, and miles, and miles to go
Backroads
Backroads

[Outro]
I recall small town stars
The radio tower in the reservoir
The way it was, the way it goes
And the crazy way you drove
