Backroad Therapy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It’s 1:08 wide awake when I hear that
Special ring stomach sinks 'cause you know
I’m already pullin' out the drive
I’m up and I’ll be there in 5

[Verse 2]
I’m turnin' right at a light when it hits me
You feed me lies to put your hands on my body
I’m helpless in the morning light
Knowin' I fell for it a hundred times

[Pre-Chorus]
Finally put my foot down on the gas
Speeding past your place on my left
I swear it’s like a drug when you’re holding me
But I got the remedy, I know exactly what I need

[Chorus]
I’m gonna scream your name at the windshield
Tell the rain how stupid I feel
Unleash evеry tear on the wheel, crank the radio
Evеry old country song about letting go
Keepin' my eyes on the road and off the rearview
My mind between the lines and nowhere near you
'Cause driving this car right back into your arms ain’t what’s gonna fix me
I just need a little backroad therapy
[Verse 3]
It’s 2 o'clock on the dot and you text me “Where you at?”
You don’t know I’m already
30 miles out of town
And I don’t think I’m turnin' around

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause Jo Dee’s singin' "Bye bye, catch ya later"
Keep that lead foot on the accelerator
But I still hear your voice echo in my head
So I turn it up to 10 and drive until I’m over it

[Chorus]
I’m gonna scream your name at the windshield
Tell the rain how stupid I feel
Unleash every tear on the wheel, crank the radio
Every old country song about letting go
Keepin' my eyes on the road and off the rearview
My mind between the lines and nowhere near you
'Cause driving this car right back into your arms ain’t what’s gonna fix me
I just need a little backroad therapy

[Bridge]
I’m not changin’ my mind or direction
Let this dashboard hear my confession
[Chorus]
I’m gonna scream your name at the windshield
Tell the rain how stupid I feel
Unleash every tear on the wheel, crank the radio
Every old country song about letting go
Keepin' my eyes on the road and off the rearview
My mind between the lines and nowhere near you
Driving this car right back into your arms ain’t what’s gonna fix me
I just need a little backroad therapy
(A little backroad, a little backroad)
Need a little backroad therapy
(A little backroad, a little backroad therapy)
'Cause I need a little backroad therapy

How to Format Lyrics:
