Backroads Songtext

von Corey Taylor

It′s just me and all these stars tonight
The hone of the engine in my ears
I'll make my way back to the city lights
Where I′ve been spending all these years

The air is prickling at my neck again
Funny how this road can make you smile
With all the memories of the night we spent
The past escapes you for a while
Just for a while

And i'll be waiting on the sunrise
Not some looks the other way
Shed some light on all these changes
Raise the glass to the break of day

Tonight I'm taking on the backroads
Just gotta find that peace of mind
To face these changes i must face alone
Babe i just need a little time

And i walk mostly hopeless
Find some comfort in despair
Breed some sense into the senseless
Taste the sweet summer air

I walk with my head out now
And they′ll bring me to my knees
I will stand up in the (...)
Shed some light on all (...)

I will take what I′m given
Never ask for nothing more
I'll always question and i′ll wonder
Just what the hell we're fighting for

I wont be fading with the sunset
I will drive on through the night
And I′ll always take the backroads
Till I one day get it right
Get it right
