Backroads Of My Memory

On the backroads of memory There's a truck bed loaded down Leaving town with a six-string A suit case, a pipe dream And a heartache to sing about Worn tires on two-night drive to Nashville Trying to make a name in that night life Chasin' that neon rainbow in honky tonks And getting lost in them lower Broadway lights They're still burning in my mind You can't stop those wheels from turning round You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah Some things fade out with the winds of yesterday Some things are always there every time I drive by On the backroads of memory I'm hanging on to her and every curve And I'm right back to a slow song on the radio Learning everything we didn't know Feels so right got you on my mind right now Ain't it funny how You can't stop those wheels from turning round You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah Some things fade out with the winds of yesterday Some things are always there every time I drive by On the backroads of memory On the backroads of my memory There's a couple turns I could have made Maybe missed all those dead ends, kept a few friends But then again I might a missed a ride along the way A ride along the way, yeah You can't stop those wheels from turning round You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah Some things fade out with the winds of yesterday Some things are always there every time I drive by On the backroads of memory On the backroads of my memory On the backroads of my memory
