Where the Backroad Ends - David Morris

Well here we are again, same old bar stool

I’m looking at the clock like, «Man, where are you?»

Maybe you ran out of gas, maybe you picked up a shift

Maybe you’re just running late, ah yea that must be it

I don’t know why you ain’t answering my calls

I don’t know why but I think it’s all my fault

I’m just tryna make sense of it all

But some things don’t make sense at all, damn

They say it’s darkest before the dawn

They say no one’s ever really gone

They tell me that I gotta stay strong

But right now I’m just missing my friend

I know heaven is a place on earth

We’re all going, you just got there first

Between the pines, 'round that old creek bend

Wait for me where the backroad ends

Where the backroad ends

Can’t wait to see you again

Where the backroad ends

Some night I drive around the city all alone

And I stop by your house, see if you’re momma’s home

She asks me to stay for dinner, we sit down and talk about ya

We go through old photographs and laugh, man, it’s hard without ya

Remember where we used to park

And stay out 'til way after dark

Away from the noise and under the stars

I like to think that’s where you are

They say it’s darkest before the dawn

They say no one’s ever really gone

They tell me that I gotta stay strong

But right now I’m just missing my friend

I know heaven is a place on earth

We’re all going, you just got there first

Between the pines, 'round that old creek bend

Wait for me where the backroad ends

Where the backroad ends

Can’t wait to see you again

Where the backroad ends

I’ll tell ya Strawberry Wine came on the radio last night and man, I cried

Thought about all the times we had together

You always think they’re gonna last forever, damn

They say it’s darkest before the dawn

They say no one’s ever really gone

They tell me that I gotta stay strong

But right now I’m just missing my friend

I know heaven is a place on earth

We’re all going, you just got there first

Between the pines, 'round that old creek bend

Wait for me where the backroad ends

Where the backroad ends

Can’t wait to see you again

Where the backroad ends

I hope you got a smile on your face

And your heart’s at peace, amen

Where the backroad ends
