Backroads Don’t Forget
D99Labs
country
Warm modern country ballad
midtempo. Male vocals over strummed acoustic and steady kick
brushed snare and mellow bass. Fiddle lines weave in and out of the verses; big stacked harmonies lift the chorus. Tasteful Telecaster licks answer vocal phrases
with a gentle dynamic build each chorus and a short instrumental tag on the outro.

Paroles
[Verse 1]
Got a dusted-up Chevy in the front yard
Same dent in the tailgate from your first car
You carved our names in that old oak tree
Weather took the bark, but it never took you from me
[Chorus]
These backroads don’t forget
Every tire track, every sunset
Your bare feet on my dashboard
Laughin’ like we’d never get old
I keep drivin’ past where you let go of my hand
’Cause these backroads don’t forget
Even when I do the best I can
[Verse 2]
Your mama still waves from the mailbox
Says you’re doin’ fine up in Little Rock
I just nod and say I’m alright too
Then turn the long way home just to ride with a ghost of you
[Chorus]
These backroads don’t forget
Every tire track, every sunset
Your bare feet on my dashboard
Laughin’ like we’d never get old
I keep drivin’ past where you let go of my hand
’Cause these backroads don’t forget
Even when I do the best I can
[Bridge]
Maybe one day I’ll leave this town
Quit chasin’ what keeps spinnin’ me around
But as long as there’s gravel and a rusted street sign
You’re there in the rearview, ridin’ every white line
[Chorus]
These backroads don’t forget
Every tire track, every sunset
Your bare feet on my dashboard
Laughin’ like we’d never get old
I keep drivin’ past where you let go of my hand
’Cause these backroads don’t forget
And I still love you more than I planned
[Outro]
So I circle that cornfield curve once more
Kill the lights, let the quiet talk
These backroads don’t forget
They remember what I lost
Got a dusted-up Chevy in the front yard
Same dent in the tailgate from your first car
You carved our names in that old oak tree
Weather took the bark, but it never took you from me
[Chorus]
These backroads don’t forget
Every tire track, every sunset
Your bare feet on my dashboard
Laughin’ like we’d never get old
I keep drivin’ past where you let go of my hand
’Cause these backroads don’t forget
Even when I do the best I can
[Verse 2]
Your mama still waves from the mailbox
Says you’re doin’ fine up in Little Rock
I just nod and say I’m alright too
Then turn the long way home just to ride with a ghost of you
[Chorus]
These backroads don’t forget
Every tire track, every sunset
Your bare feet on my dashboard
Laughin’ like we’d never get old
I keep drivin’ past where you let go of my hand
’Cause these backroads don’t forget
Even when I do the best I can
[Bridge]
Maybe one day I’ll leave this town
Quit chasin’ what keeps spinnin’ me around
But as long as there’s gravel and a rusted street sign
You’re there in the rearview, ridin’ every white line
[Chorus]
These backroads don’t forget
Every tire track, every sunset
Your bare feet on my dashboard
Laughin’ like we’d never get old
I keep drivin’ past where you let go of my hand
’Cause these backroads don’t forget
And I still love you more than I planned
[Outro]
So I circle that cornfield curve once more
Kill the lights, let the quiet talk
These backroads don’t forget
They remember what I lost
