Lyrics

Mama gave me her old car when I turned 21
I grabbed my first guitar and I put it in the trunk
We drove out west to Oklahoma to sing the rodeo
Then on to Colorado to make it to the next show
At some casino in Española we won the jackpot
We took the money and we drove a while 'til we found a place to stop
We talked and laughed and sang all night in that little Spanish town
We drove two days on 66 on our way back to the south
We rolled the windows down and sang to the mountains
And stopped to look at every shooting star
So every time I start the engine it triggers something sweet
And that's why that beat up truck means so much to me
Oh, I'd hate to see it go
It put a good two hundred thousand miles of memories in my soul
All the way from Tennessee into the hills of New Mexico
It brought me home on America's back roads
All my friends say I should trade it in for something new
But that old classic's part of me like a fading tattoo
I know it may just look like rusty steel and wheels to you
But to me it's every dream I had that I finally made come true
That's why I'd hate to see it go
It put a good two hundred thousand miles of memories in my soul
All the way from Tennessee into the hills of New Mexico
It brought me home on America's back roads
America's back roads
Every mile, every state line from the east coast to the west coast
Always got me there and brought me home
America's back roads
America's back roads
Every family vacation, my first show when I didn't know how
Always got me there and brought me home
On America's back roads
America's back roads
