[Intro] Vinyl crackle on the dash Dust on the glass Mm [Verse 1] Two-lane ribbon, red clay My truck got a slow sway Sun droppin' low, I fade out Phone face down, let the day out Tire marks, mile after mile I breathe in, let it run wild No crowd, no noise, no rush Just that engine and the brush I been carryin' too much Heavy heart, hard luck So I took the long way home Where the pine trees hum alone [Pre-Chorus] Stomp-clap, then I lean back Let the whole world lose track Banjo pullin' at my nerves Till my chest finally uncurves [Chorus] Take me on a long backroad ride Long backroad ride, long backroad ride Let the dust heal what I hide Long backroad ride, long backroad ride Let it roll, let it go Let my mind drift slow Long backroad ride Long backroad ride [Verse 2] Muddy shoulders, gravel hiss Every turn feels like a truce Fence posts blur in the heat Old hurt fallin' off my feet I don't need no big sign Just that bend and a little time Creek water, cracked wind Same sky lettin' me begin If the weight tries to crawl back in I got that road to outrun it Might not fix what broke inside But it gives me room to breathe tonight [Pre-Chorus] Stomp-clap, then I lean back Let the whole world lose track Banjo pullin' at my nerves Till my chest finally uncurves [Chorus] Take me on a long backroad ride Long backroad ride, long backroad ride Let the dust heal what I hide Long backroad ride, long backroad ride Let it roll, let it go Let my mind drift slow Long backroad ride Long backroad ride [Bridge] [Breakdown] Headlights sink in the ditch-line One hand loose on the steering wheel I don't need forever I just need this feel Oh, let the evening open up Oh, let it take the ache away When the road keeps callin' me I don't need words to stay [Final Chorus] Take me on a long backroad ride Long backroad ride, long backroad ride Let the dust heal what I hide Long backroad ride, long backroad ride Let it roll, let it go Let my mind drift slow Long backroad ride Long backroad ride Take me on a long backroad ride Long backroad ride, long backroad ride
