Heaven's Got A Backroad

(album: Genesis - 2021)

You ever lost someone you truly loved?
Still blame yourself you didn't do enough?
Reminisce, just the two of us
In them backroads, run through the mud
Now I'm stuck, I can't let you go
What the future holds, I'll never know
Till I die, you'll live through me
I'll paint your name on every road

Drinking whiskey, kicking dirt
Can't explain how much it hurts
Hope you go through heaven's door
Lifted up in that four by four
Country bread, that's how we cope
Bonfire and a little smoke
When it's my time to go

I hope heaven's got a backroad
Heaven's got a backroad
I'm okay with them streets of gold
But that ain't how I roll
I hope heaven's got a backroad
Heaven's got a backroad
I'm okay with them gates of pearl
But when I leave this world
I hope heaven's got a backroad

He lived his whole life to put the uniform on
Now he's dead and gone
Salute the ones who died to set me free

Moment of silence
I'm tired of the riots and the nonsense
I feel like everyone's forgotten about who God is
Us country folk will survive
And when I finally take that ride

I hope heaven's got a backroad
Heaven's got a backroad
I'm okay with them streets of gold
But that ain't how I roll
I hope heaven's got a backroad
Heaven's got a backroad
I'm okay with them gates of pearl
But when I leave this world
I hope heaven's got a backroad

I hope heaven's got a backroad
Heaven's got a backroad
I'm okay with them gates of pearl
But when I leave this world

I hope heaven's got a backroad
Heaven's got a backroad
I hope heaven's got a backroad
Heaven's got a backroad
I hope heaven's got a backroad
I hope heaven's got a backroad
