Backroads - 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
