Lyrics
Verse 1
Dust on my boots and fire in my veinsSheriff’s lights fading in the rearview againMama’s words echo but I never slow downThis backroad’s calling and I’m leaving this town Backroad rebel, that’s the name I claimRunning free with no one left to blameWhiskey in the tank and thunder in the skyBackroad rebel till the day I die [Instrumental Solo 1][Verse 2]Hank’s wild spirit, Merle’s steady handTaught me how to stand when the world demandsFriends in the shadows, stories left untoldLiving this life like the young and the bold Backroad rebel, that’s the name I claimRunning free with no one left to blameWhiskey in the tank and thunder in the skyBackroad rebel till the day I die [Instrumental Solo 2]One more curve and the past falls awayNothing but freedom at the end of the day [Verse 3]When the law catches up I’ll face the costBut these open miles are never lostKeep the pedal down and the spirit highBackroad rebel under endless sky Backroad rebel, that’s the name I claimRunning free with no one left to blameWhiskey in the tank and thunder in the skyBackroad rebel till the day I die
