Backroad Runners - Upchurch

Timestamps on backroads, I got those by the truckload

We ran these, some too slow, blunt cruisin' when we rode

Hittin' every stop sign with some bottles as we flew by

Out past 11 but our parents all knew why

We was some backroad runners

Summertime junkies, trucks soundin' like thunder

Yeah, we was some hometown boys

Letterman jacket with a name patched on

We’re Pantera and a little Hank

Sometimes fine wine or a whiskey taste

Yeah, but some things in life can’t be bought in a store

And one of those things are real country boys

Ain’t no shame in comin' up on a one-lane in the cut

I used to stargaze and tell the sky that one day I’s gonna be one

Now I’m shootin' across the country, I know everyone can see

The wasn’t-supposed-to-be white boy in middle Tennessee

Never walked a red carpet only walk the fields of gold

That’s my life you lookin' at when you click on my video

My goal was, make my mama proud, give my brothers clean trucks

As for me, I take the bullets for the country, so what’s up

Church

We was some backroad runners

Summertime junkies, trucks soundin' like thunder

Yeah, we was some hometown boys

Letterman jacket with a name patched on

We’re Pantera and a little Hank

Sometimes fine wine or a whiskey taste

Yeah, but some things in life can’t be bought in a store

And one of those things are real country boys

They told me clean my act up but your boy ain’t no actor

I made it cool for hip-hop stars to rap standin' beside a tractor

Way back in the day I never dreamed I’d be all this

Until I seen a teenager in a truck bumpin' my shit

And it gave me a feelin' I won’t ever forget

A energy only lost when I’m worm dirt for fish

My right hand got a tattoo of a hook and a line

'Cause I catch a vibe I got Dixieland on my mind

We was some backroad runners

Summertime junkies, trucks soundin' like thunder

Yeah, we was some hometown boys

Letterman jacket with a name patched on

We’re Pantera and a little Hank

Sometimes fine wine or a whiskey taste

Yeah, but some things in life can’t be bought in a store

And one of those things are real country boys
