"Backroads Of My Memory" lyrics

On the backroads of my memory
There's a truck bed loaded down
Leaving town with a six-string, a suit case
A pipe dream, and a heartache to sing about

Worn tires on a two-night drive to Nashville
Trying to make a name in that night life
Chasin' that neon rainbow in honky tonks
And getting lost in them lower Broadway lights
They're still burning in my mind

You can't stop those wheels from turning 'round
You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah
Some things fade out with the winds of yesterday
Some things are always there every time I drive by
On the backroads of my memory

I'm hanging on to her at every curve
And I'm right back to a slow song on the radio
Learning everything we didn't know
Feels so right, got you on my mind right now
Ain't it funny how

You can't stop those wheels from turning 'round
You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah
Some things fade out with the winds of yesterday
Some things are always there every time I drive by
On the backroads of my memory

On the backroads of my memory
There's a couple turns I could've made
Maybe missed all those dead ends, kept a few friends
But then again, I might've missed a ride along the way
A ride along the way, yeah

You can't stop those wheels from turning 'round
You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah
Some things fade out with the winds of yesterday
Some things are always there every time I drive by
On the backroads of my memory
On the backroads of my memory
On the backroads of my memory
