Back Roads

(album: Layers Of Reflection - 2016)

I'm caring less of losing touch
I lost myself by keeping us
I'm wanting more like "what's enough?"
I'm driving faster just because
I learned a lot of simple things that many have passed
Like you won't find your future by hooking up with your last
Mopping up these floors
Can you see it through my lense?
Hustle with this mopping
Ima trade it for a benz
Whippin up in the kitchen
You can invite all of your friends
Cook it up fresh, oh, thank you, come again
Younging from the Bay
Sliding through on the scene
Rocking denim, killing beats
Yeah, it must be the jeans
With all the snakes in the yard
I'm always out on the road
With all the cards that you're dealt
Sometimes you let it unfold
I got phone calls from home, like
"Why aren't you home?"
She like "You should move in,"
But I already moved on, damn
Tell me where that leave me at
Tell me where that genie at
I gotta couple wishes, and I'm starting with this TV, yeah
Lots of material things
Hung on this chain on my neck
She wears all these beautiful things
Worth about ten of my checks
Suffocating girl, I need to escape
And right now a road trip's only thing I can take

Take the back roads with me
Back roads with me
Back roads with me
Take the back roads with me
Back roads with me
Back roads with me
Back roads with me
Take the back roads with me

Only thing that I've been feeling are these back roads
Six hour drive, anything you ask for
Take a trip baby, don't forget your passport
Anywhere you wanna go, take the back roads with me

Leave it all behind like I got nothing to lose
If you ever thought I cared, then you got me confused
And I ain't tryna be rude
I just been up in a mood
Cause everybody saying some
But what can I do
It's like I'm too tired, and stressed out
Friends come with they hands out
Turning up my AC, Guess I'm really 'bout to vent now
I been looking around, like can I keep it together
Best friends come around the moment you doing better
But that's the times that we living
I'm hoping some of you heard me
They see me team, how we're winning
And they're like "Pass me a jersey,"
Yeah, I needa take the scenic route
Needa get a better picture
What my future be about
Cutting ties like it's casual day
What I love about these roads
How it's only one way
Start up the engine
She like "Where do we go,"
Girl, I'm fine with being lost
If it's out on the road

Take the back roads with me
Back roads with me
Back roads with me
Take the back roads with me
Back roads with me
Back roads with me
Back roads with me
Take the back roads with me

Only thing that I've been feeling are these back roads
Six hour drive, anything you ask for
Take a trip baby, don't forget your passport
Anywhere you wanna go, take the back roads with me

Blessing, it's a blessing just to be here today
Five heads in a whip, like them high school days
Yeah, remember these moments
Cause out the window they go
Summer vibes, soul friends, heart breaks and you know
And when these winters get cold
And all these summers get old
And everybody doing better
All your stories all told

Are you, down to take back roads?
Are you, down to take back roads?
Tell me, are you down to take back roads?
Yeah, where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Are you down to take the back roads?
Are you down to take the back roads?
Are you down to take the back roads?
Where do we go from here?
