Backroads Goodbye

When the sun has passed over and captured the day The dark clouds and shadows have all passed away And I by the wayside a hasty night camp Having slowed my speed off the last exit ramp And it's goodbye to those main street blues It's been all that it can be I'm leaving with nothing to lose So for now it's the backroads for me Now just the scrub brush and the scruffy side roads They might threaten many but wherever I go There for the evening the stars now my friends It's where I say my prayers and I get settled in And it's goodbye to that crooked game Time to find all that I've been denied If I stayed there than nothing would change So for now it's the backroads I ride It's adios mis amigos I'm out and I'm free Me and my thoughts and my who knows what be Tomorrow's tomorrow and there may be new friends There might be a guitar and the good time begins And it's goodbye to those old town streets I've locked up and turned out the light I've worn out that old concrete And I'm driving the backroads tonight I'm driving the backroads tonight And I'm singing a backroads goodbye
