[Verse 1]
This ain't no highway
I know it don't look like much
No, it ain't paved
Got no street lights lighting it up
Just some dirt path all the way back
Don't got a name, but it don't have to
[Verse 2]
Slow down
When you go around the curves
Yeah, it's a one-way
You don't get much room to swerve
Yeah, the interstate is faster
And I guess nowadays, that's what we're after
[Chorus]
These are the roads, these are the roads
That you tear down when you're pissed off
And you gotta get found 'cause you're feeling lost
These are the roads, these are the roads
Where you make out on your first date
Put the car in park and you're home late
Got more heart, got more soul
Got more stories than'll ever be told
These are the roads
[Verse 3]
I remember
When Daddy gave me the keys
Sat in the passenger side
And left the rest up to me
Well, I crashed it first minute
And he laughed while I cried
[Verse 4]
And one night
Some kid felt bulletproof
Flying sixty-five
After throwing back a few
Now there's one less tree 'cause he took it out
And one little white cross stuck in the ground
[Chorus]
These are the roads, these are the roads
That you tear down when you're pissed off
And you gotta get found 'cause you're feeling lost
These are the roads, these are the roads
Where you make out on your first date
Put the car in park and you're home late
Got more heart, got more soul
Got more stories than'll ever be told
These are the roads
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
[Chorus]
These are the roads, these are the roads
That you laugh on, that you cry on
That you plead your life to God on
These are the roads, these are the roads
Where you make out on your first date
Put the car in park and you're home late
Got more heart, got more soul
Got more stories than'll ever be told
They'll take you out into the world
And they'll bring you back home
These are the roads
[Outro]
Oh
