[Verse 1:]
Back when I was just a kid
They take me out pa**ed range row bridge
I drop a line and be catching fish all day
Yeah I got those old Camaro keys
That afternoon I turned 16
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]
No
You can't take my backroads
[Verse 3:]
Yeah I can see em all so clear
In a cloud of dust in my rear view mirror
Most of them have gone away
They keep turning into interstates
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
You can't take my backroads away from me
No you can't take my backroads away from me
You can' take my backroads
