Heart On A Backroad

(Album: Motive - 2019)

Grew up a humble man, God blessed my soul
On this rugged land, all the stories told
Still paying Uncle Sam, still visit when it's cold
You might see me in the city
But my heart's damn sure down here on a backroad

Backroad, lil' ole town
Take off a load let the windows down
And hear the country sound
Where the sun stays beaming
Yeah, you know what I'm meanin'?
Where my roots lay, where my seeds are sewn
Where my music plays 'til my speakers blown
Drink all day and we sing along
To the stars of night, 'til the roosters home
Back then when it made sense
Back when good money was spent
By a hard earned check 'cause you busted your ass
Just to check your watch and see time's flown past
Where to go now, where we been?
I'm on the road now 'til it ends
I'ma still be me, be free 'til I'm old
You might see me in the city
But my hearts on a backroad

Grew up a humble man, God blessed my soul
On this rugged land, all the stories told
Still paying Uncle Sam, still visit when it's cold
You might see me in the city
But my heart's damn sure down here on a backroad

Well, it's just another song about backroads
Nah, it ain't like that
Do you really drive a tractor and a backhoe?
Well, something like that but
Doesn't really matter what I'm doing, does it?
I pay my bills, quit fussing
Blue collar with dollars I know my budget
No gimme's on a backroad, gotta putt it
House party on the weekend, woo
Hear the backroad drums beating
Hanging on by my seat and
Unless the po-po come ain't nobody leaving
You can catch me in the city
You can find me at a show (At a show)
But if you see me in the city
Know my hearts damn sure down here on a backroad

Grew up a humble man, God blessed my soul
On this rugged land, all the stories told
Still paying Uncle Sam, still visit when it's cold
You might see me in the city
But my heart's damn sure down here on a backroad

Grew up a humble man, God blessed my soul
On this rugged land, all the stories told
Still paying Uncle Sam, still visit when it's cold
You might see me in the city
But my heart's damn sure down here on a backroad

But my heart's damn sure down here on a backroad
You might see me in the city
But my heart's damn sure down here on a backroad
