Backroads

Taking and leaving Getting and giving Wasting and wanting it so bad I feel like flying But I'm scared of dying So I'll make my way there on my own I'm always packing clothes And I take the backroads Waking and dreaming Faking and meaning Believing and needing it so bad But I don't like crying But I'll be lying if I told you that I slept like a stone When I'm on the phone I was so far from home But I could finally see the stars I didn't know what I was missing Never thought I would make it this far I didn't notice you were listening I didn't know that you were listening After the blazes After the crazy After the crackles of old life Well I feel like dying To hell with trying I'll see myself out on my own I don't know where I'm going But I'll take the backroads And I can finally see the stars I didn't know what I was missing I never thought that I would make it this far I didn't notice you were listening I didn't notice you were listening I didn't know that you were listening Out with the ancients Out with the fools Out with the demons that haunt you I will keep driving I've been surviving I told you I love like a stone Like a stone Until I find a home I'll take the backroads I'll take the backroads I'll take the backroads I'll take the backroads
