County Roads Lyrics by Elvie Shane

Backslider

2021

[Verse 1]
I got a public education, but it didn't come from class
It came from the long rides home on the bus in the back
Where we learned how to cuss from them high school kids
Throw a punch, take a punch, steal a kiss
[Verse 2]
Yeah, she had two years on me the day I turned sixteen
I had a Fox body Mustang, she had a body like a dream
We ran on young love, good music, cheap gasoline
Found out you can still go too far even when the tank's on "E"
[Chorus]
Here's to the lessons that don't come cheap
To the long lost lovers in the shotgun sеats
Here's to the wild and thе restless souls
Who got their street smarts runnin' down them
County roads, county roads
[Post-Chorus]
County roads
[Verse 3]
That wrench in my hand sure put a wrench in my plans
But Daddy said good help was hard to find
I guess I stood her up one too many Friday nights
She ended up in the truck with a buddy of mine, hey
[Chorus]
Here's to the lessons that don't come cheap
To the long lost lovers in the shotgun seats
Here's to the wild and the restless souls
Who got their street smarts runnin' down them
County roads, county roads
[Post-Chorus]
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
County roads (Na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
[Bridge]
Here's to the hurt from that first hangover
Had us all swearin' we'd forever stay sober
Here's to the scrapes and the dents and the scars
On our boots, our cars, our reckless hearts, yeah
[Chorus]
Here's to the lessons that don't come cheap
To the long lost lovers in the shotgun seats
Here's to the wild and the restless souls
Who got their street smarts runnin' down them
County roads, county roads
[Post-Chorus]
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
County roads, county roads, yeah (Na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na, na-na-na) County roads
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
[Outro]
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
