Where the Backroad Ends

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 nights 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
