Back Road

We got a God painted sunset view In a barbed wire flame It's like heaven on earth down here And that ain't ever gonna change Got some gas in the tank Got a road that was made for a night like this Just a dot in the dust One you never heard of But it's as good as it gets They got mansions down in Georgia They got beaches in Carolina They got sunshine in California And Colorado will get you high But I got one hand wrapped around The prettiest thing I've ever seen Right here in this Detroit made Chevrolet In back road Tennessee A full moon on a night this clear Lights her blue eyes up Ain't the only kind of shine around here We got a little in a cup A little smile takes a sip I can taste it on her lips When she's loving on me, yeah She's my homegrown girl Ain't nowhere in the world I'd rather be They got mansions down in Georgia They got beaches in Carolina They got sunshine in California And Colorado will get you high But I got one arm wrapped around The prettiest thing I've ever seen Right here in this Detroit made Chevrolet In back road Tennessee (yeah, yeah uh-uh) I could spend my whole life here Long as she's right here Slipping her hand in mine Born and raised this way I swear I'm gonna stay small town 'til the day I die They got mansions down in Georgia They got beaches in Carolina They got sunshine in California And Colorado will get you high But I got one arm wrapped around The prettiest thing I've ever seen Right here in this Detroit made Chevrolet In back road Tennessee

(Keali'i Reichel and Robi Kahakalau's version) Keali'i: Old friend, here we are, Lookin' back at all the years and tears that we've been through. It feels so good to see you. Lookin' back in time, There's been other friends and other lovers, But no other one like you. All my life, No one ever has known me better. I must have traveled down a thousand roads. Been so many places, seen so many faces, Always on my way to somethin' new, oh. But it doesn't matter 'cause no matter where I go, Every road leads back, Every road just seems to lead me back to you. Robi: Old friend, there were times I didn't want to see your face or hear your name again. Now those times are far behind me. It's so good to see your smile. I'd forgotten how you were the one Who'd make me smile the way you do. All this time, You're the one that I want beside me. I must have traveled down a thousand roads. Been so many places, seen so many faces, Always on my way to somethin' new, oh. But it doesn't matter 'cause no matter where I go, Every road leads back, Every road just seems to lead me back to you. Both: I must have traveled down a thousand roads. Been so many places, seen so many faces, Always on my way to somethin' new, oh. But it doesn't matter 'cause no matter where I go, Every road leads back, Every road just seems to lead me back to you. Robi: Every road just seems to lead me back... Keali'i: Oo... Both: to you.

We don't know Back on the road Go baby go Back on the road My people know about it Livin' and strugglin' and strivin' And the demon's born tonight Tryna keep us in the blind And we seek what is hard to find In these ridiculous times 'Cause shit is intense 'Cause shit is immense Mom stayed up so I could be The world before me so I could see Seein' taught me the facts ain't sweet Bein' taught me what that gon' need So it, so it, so it got me going Had to get back on the road Got to tell lil' man "Rock the boat" Got to show lost ones where to go Ay oh, we ridin' but we don't know Every moment but we try to get back on the road I say we ridin' but don't know where to go (go baby go) Ain't it funny how we try to get back on the road? Get back on the road My people know about it Livin' and strugglin' and strivin' And our worlds are all collidin' Tryna keep up with the time And we seek what is hard to find In these ridiculous times 'Cause shit is intense 'Cause shit is immense (hey yo) Hey yo Whenever they tell me, life is heavy I tell 'em "Me? I do that already" Too many dudes, and I do their creating Usually humans are way too selfish Confusin' our pride with reason Usin' our minds but time will heal 'em And though it's like hide and seek Just follow the signs you read Ay oh, we ridin' but we don't know Every moment but we try to get back on the road I say we ridin' but don't know where to go (go baby go) Ain't it funny how we try to get back on the road? Ay oh, we ridin' but we don't know Every moment but we try to get back on the road I say we ridin' but don't know where to go (go baby go) Ain't it funny how we try to get back on the road? Get back on the road If you don't know somebody I guess we done lost yo' mind a bit You livin' like you a survivor I see you walkin' proud as shit I feel your pain more than a little bit We in the same pile of shit Let's walk through the flames together And see how it ends finally Ay oh, we ridin' but we don't know Every moment but we try to get back on the road (oh no) I say we ridin' but don't know where to go (go baby go) Ain't it funny how we try to get back on the road?
