BACKROADS TO YOUR HEART

Backroads To Your Heart
Greg Allen 8/7/24
Verse
It took a long time to get to you honey, it was worth every minute and mile
Took a long time to get to you baby, was a road not taken in style
I took the backroads, backroads to your heart
I took the backroad, backroads to your heart
Verse
I was focused, bound and determined, wasn’t letting you get away
I was driven, so I went a-driving, pulled into your heart that day
I took the backroads, backroads to your heart
I took the backroad, backroads to your heart
Bridge
There were twists and turns, hills and vales, kicking up gravel and sand
There were stumps and stones, rocks and rills, til I was finally holding your hand
I took the backroads, I took the backroads
Verse
You were blindsided, didn’t see me coming, I left the main road free and clear
I had a full tank, love navigated, surprise, it’s me, I’m here
I took the backroads, backroads to your heart
I took the backroads, backroads to your heart
Outro
Backroads, Backroads, Backroads.
