Backroads Lyrics by Aw Shucks

Better Now EP

2017

I’m thinkin' I should quit
'Cause I've been acting out, making bad decisions
When I said I wouldn't

'Cause I drove home drunk last night
You're all gonna hate me when you hear this, I deserve it
'Cause I'm not a good man
Not now, not back then
But listen

I know these backroads better than anyone else
And I know the only person at risk here is myself
I know these backroads better than anyone else
And I know the only person at risk here is my selfish self

Just let me die tonight
I'm begging and pleading for the ending
So just let me
For the sake of my mother
Make it look accidental;
Unintentional

'Cause I know I'm sick of feeling like this
And of driving home drunk and wishing I did not make it
I'm so fucking sick of feeling like this
But for the sake my family and friends I can not do it myself

I have far too much left in me
To watch it end like this
I have too much left in me
To watch it end
