Lyrics:
Verse 1
Pack the truck, we’re leavin’ town
Radio up, windows down
Laughin’ with the wind in our hair
No plans tonight, we’ll go anywhere
Chorus
Backroads and sunshine, feelin’ alive
Tailgate nights under that starry sky
Every mile’s a memory, every turn’s a thrill
Summer’s calling, and we’re chasing it still
Verse 2
Cold drinks, hot asphalt, barefoot rides
Front porch swings, fireflies in the night
Heartbeats racing with every song
This is where we’ve been all summer long
Bridge
Oh-oh, headlights guiding our way
Oh-oh, chasing tomorrow from today
Chorus (repeat)
Backroads and sunshine, feelin’ alive
Tailgate nights under that starry sky
Every mile’s a memory, every turn’s a thrill
Summer’s calling, and we’re chasing it still
Outro
Pack the truck, windows down
Laughin’ with the wind in our hair
Backroads and sunshine, we’re goin’ anywhere
