[Verse 1]
We'd leave right after breakfast
No plan, just where the road goes
Past the church and the corner store
Where everybody sorta knows
You'd talk about a hundred things
Half of them I can't recall
But I remember how the summer
Made the evenings last so long
[Pre-Chorus]
Little brother, dusty sneakers
Chasing sunrise with those beaters
[Chorus]
These backroads, they know our names
The same old streets, they never change
We'd walk 'til the streetlights came alive
Just a couple kids killing time
On the backroads home
[Verse 2]
We found a cat on the sidewalk
Took him home to create some small talk
Climbed the fence to hug some sheeps
Just to see if we could get some sleep
You bluffed me to smoke some
And before we knew it we had a four some
'Cause some days that's the only thing
That made the whole world feel like home
[Pre-Chorus]
Little brother, dusty sneakers
Chasing sunrise with those beaters
[Chorus]
These backroads, they know our names
The same old streets, they never change
We'd walk 'til the streetlights came alive
Just a couple kids killing time
On the backroads home
[Bridge]
Maybe we won't always live here
Maybe one day you'll move away
But if I close my eyes I'm back there
Some July, some ordinary day
[Chorus - final]
These backroads, they know our names
The same old streets, they never change
We'd walk 'til the streetlights came alive
Just a couple kids killing time
On the backroads home
[Outro]
Backroads home, backroads home
Wherever we end up, I know
Some part of me stays on that road
With you
