[Verse 1]

Nothin' left to say

We've said it all, hit a wall

We've been dancin' 'round an elephant

That don't fit in the car

Sunlight on your face

Goin' dark, sky of stars

Couldn't get my mind off how we're headin'

Towards a broken heart

[Pre-Chorus]

Mm, mm

Turn's comin' up way too fast

[Chorus]

So I'ma take the backroads off the 109

Just wanna get lost tonight

Go real slow, gonna take my time

While you're still fittin' your hand in mine

And Heaven knows, Heaven knows

Why it goes how it goes

But if it's the last time I drive you home

Then I'ma take the backroads

[Verse 2]

Know 'em like the back of my hand

Every curvе, every turn

I'll be draggin' this forеver

'Til there's no gas left to burn

Wanna taste your lips, see your eyes

But I'd spend a thousand lives

[Pre-Chorus]

On you

It's all comin' up way too soon

[Chorus]

So I'ma take the backroads off the 109

Just wanna get lost tonight

Go real slow, gonna take my time

While you're still fittin' your hand in mine

And Heaven knows, Heaven knows

Why it goes how it goes

But if it's the last time I drive you home

Then I'ma take the backroads

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Take the backroads off the 109

Just wanna get lost tonight

Go real slow, gonna take my time

While you're still fittin' your hand in mine

And Heaven knows, Heaven knows

Why it goes how it goes

But if it's the last time I drive you home

Then I'ma take the backroads
