Bury Me On A Backroad (Cover)

[Intro - Soft into spoken "Old man’s voice drifting in the wind"] Oh, that’s just Brandon [Chorus - Main Voice] I might never come back home So if I die draped in all of my gold Bury me on a back road In a flyover state with no name on the stone No crying at my grave, no breaking from the pain Just bury me on a back road In a flyover state with no name on the stone Elder Response You talk like you’re nothing But you’re more than you know You’re part of this world’s heartbeat You’re a fire that still glows [Verse 1 - Main Voice] Yeah bury me on a back road I’ve been chasing the wind and might never make it home Came up out the mud, breaking backboards, holding on to my past Taking shots through the pain, burning bridges for light when it’s dark Got dreams in the tank and a heart full of scars Elder Response Run if you must, but remember your roots You’re more than the bruises, more than the storm The road don’t define you You’re a man being reborn [Chorus - Main Voice] I might never come back home So if I die draped in all of my gold Bury me on a back road In a flyover state with no name on the stone Elder Response If you can’t come back, just know you were loved You were never nobody You were always enough [Verse 2 - Main Voice] I’ve been cut, crossed, left, lost, but nobody can call me fake I saw people I loved lie straight to my face Tell my babies I love them, every mistake made them safe Let the world say what they want, I was never afraid Elder Response Pain makes you wiser, and you stood through the fire Your story ain’t ending, it’s climbing up higher Even if they bury you far from home Your life still lives on in the hearts you’ve grown [Outro - Both Voices] No name on the stone But the love still remains No name on the stone But the world knows your name
