Back when I was just a kid They take me out passed range row bridge I drop a line and be catching fish all day Yeah I got those old Camaro keys That afternoon I turned 16 And I made my first James Dean getaway But you can't take my backroads You can't steal my redneck memories You can't take my backroads You can't take my backroads away from me Yeah this old graduation night I took what's her name and I held her tight And they helped me get her home before the dawn Those roads know things nobody knows How fast my broken heart can go When I heard that she was moving on But you can't take my backroads You can't steal my redneck memories You can't take my backroads You can't take my backroads away from me No You can't take my backroads Yeah I can see em all so clear In a cloud of dust in my rear view mirror Most of them have gone away They keep turning into interstates But you can't take my backroads You can't steal my redneck memories You can't take my backroads You can't take my backroads away from me You can't take my backroads away from me No you can't take my backroads away from me You can' take my backroads
