You Can’t Take My Backroads

[Verse 1]
Back when I was just a kid, they'd take me out past Range Road Bridge
I'd drop a line and be catching fish all day
Yeah, I got those old Camaro keys that afternoon I turned sixteen
And I made my first James Dean getaway

[Chorus]
But you can't take my backroads
You can't steal my redneck memories
You can't take my backroads
You can't take my backroads away from me

[Verse 2]
Yeah, this old graduation night I took what's-her-name and I held her tight
And they helped me get her home before the dawn
Those roads know things nobody knows, how fast my broken heart can go
When I heard that she was moving on

[Chorus]
But you can't take my backroads
You can't steal my redneck memories
You can't take my backroads
You can't take my backroads away from me, no

[Refrain]
You can't take my backroads

[Bridge]
Yeah, I can see 'em all so clear
In a cloud of dust in my rearview mirror
Most of them have gone away
They keep turning into interstates

[Chorus]
But you can't take my backroads
You can't steal my redneck memories
You can't take my backroads
You can't take my backroads away from me

[Post-Chorus]
You can't take my backroads away from me
No, you can't take my backroads away from me

[Outro]
You can't take my backroads
