Backroad Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
Left the city in the rearview mirror
Sky is getting a little bit clearer
Windows down, let the humid air in
Got that Southern sun on my skin
Tires humming on the gravel track
Ain't no doubt that I’m coming back
[Pre-Chorus]
See the water tower painting the sky
Flash of a smile in my own eye
It’s been five years, maybe it’s ten
Sixteen all over again
[Chorus]
I’m driving through that backroad gold
Stories that the pine trees told
Not here to show off a ring
Or prove that I can do anything
I’m just here for the firefly light
Dancing in the middle of the night
Yeah, I’ve come a long, long way
Finding a brand new way to stay
[Post-Chorus]
Backroad gold, yeah
Shining like it never got old
It's backroad gold
[Verse]
Dixie Diner still got the neon sign
I’m crossing over the county line
Saw the bleachers where we used to sit
Every little dream, yeah, I followed it
I’m wearing confidence like a brand new dress
Leaving behind all the city stress
[Pre-Chorus]
See the water tower painting the sky
Flash of a smile in my own eye
It’s been five years, maybe it’s ten
Sixteen all over again
[Chorus]
I’m driving through that backroad gold
Stories that the pine trees told
Not here to show off a ring
Or prove that I can do anything
I’m just here for the firefly light
Dancing in the middle of the night
Yeah, I’ve come a long, long way
Finding a brand new way to stay
[Bridge]
I chased the lights, I chased the fame
Still the girl with the same name
High heels tucked under the seat
Barefoot rhythm to a country beat
Proud of miles and all the scars
Looking up at the same old stars
[Hook]
It’s a celebration
Of my own creation
No more hesitation
Just this sweet sensation
[Chorus]
I’m driving through that backroad gold
Stories that the pine trees told
Not here to show off a ring
Or prove that I can do anything
I’m just here for the firefly light
Dancing in the middle of the night
Yeah, I’ve come a long, long way
Finding a brand new way to stay
[Post-Chorus]
Backroad gold, yeah
Shining like it never got old
It's backroad gold
[Outro]
