[Verse 1] You left your cap on the dash And a receipt from St. Joe's I still know that old road Every bend where we slowed Two-town line in the dark Your hand on the wheel, mine on your sleeve I trace that cracked-up map Like it might bring you back to me [Pre-Chorus] Tailgate rattles like a memory Mile markers blur and glow I swear your laugh is still in the seat When the radio’s low [Chorus] Backseat atlas, take me home Backseat atlas, where'd you go? I keep your name in the glovebox And drive it slow, drive it slow Backseat atlas, stay with me Backseat atlas, memory If I turn this road around Will you come back down? [Verse 2] Fuel light blinking red At the edge of the county line Your old work boots in my trunk Still got dust from a colder time At the diner off Route Nine We split fries and a cherry pie Now the booth has a newer sign But I still see us passing by [Pre-Chorus] Pedal steel cuts through the rain Like a note that can’t let go I keep one eye on the rearview And one on the road [Chorus] Backseat atlas, take me home Backseat atlas, where'd you go? I keep your name in the glovebox And drive it slow, drive it slow Backseat atlas, stay with me Backseat atlas, memory If I turn this road around Will you come back down? [Bridge] Tell me this ache don’t fade Tell me it leaves a mark I got your ghost in the vinyl crackle And your silence in the spark [Chorus] Backseat atlas, take me home Backseat atlas, where'd you go? I keep your name in the glovebox And drive it slow, drive it slow Backseat atlas, stay with me Backseat atlas, memory If I turn this road around Will you come back down? [Outro] Backseat atlas Drive it slow Backseat atlas Don’t let go
