The highway don't run through this townMain Street's a drag, it's bringing me downI don't give a damn what the talking heads sayI kill the radio and let the noise fade
They're all wasting my time
Set the night and these fields on fireThrow my trouble into the windThe past is a ghost and the future's a liarRacing me straight to the endDown these Back RoadsBack Roads
We used to have something to chaseTowers to burn and devils to faceYou said this place won't let us goWe're born in the rain and leave with the snow
Maybe we never get out
Set the night and these fields on fireThrow my trouble into the windThe past is a ghost and the future's a liarRacing me straight to the endDown these Back Roads
Set the night and these fields on fireThrow my trouble into the windThe past is a ghost and the future's a liarRacing me straight to the endSet the night and these fields on fireThrow my trouble into the windThe past is a ghost and the future's a liarRacing me straight to the endDown these Back RoadsBack RoadsDown these Back RoadsBack Roads
