Backroads Call Me Home

Sunrise Sunrise paints the fields in gold Waking up to the life we know Hands in the dirt and hearts in the sky We're the ones who can't deny Flower and rose forevermore Daddy's called across the pasture floor Mama's up a-sittin' fillin' her sweat The story's told by the fireside sway Sweats on her brows but laughter rings Chasin' dreams in the summer heat Buildin' fences, mendin' wings Roots run deep in this promised beat All these back roads call me home Where love was young in the night So long Family ties that never wrong Singin' praises in a simple song Heart full of memories Light as the breeze Country so forever free Dancin' barefoot under the trees That's the life that's livin' in me Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh all these back roads call me home where love was young and the nights were long family ties that never wrong singing praises and a simple song heart full of memories light as a breeze country so forever free dancing barefoot under the trees there's a life that's living in me sunset fades but the fire stays in every joyful day this country's mine come what may for and always here to stay this country's mine come what may for and always here to stay this country's mine come what may for and always here to stay this country's mine come what may for and always here to stay this country's mine come what may for and always here to stay this country's mine come what may for and always here to stay this country's mine come what may for and always here to stay this country's mine come what may for and always here to stay this country's mine come what may for and always here to stay
