Back Roads

A Music Video

This song was inspired by a recent driving trip in Colorado that I describe at the end of a previous post. We ended up taking a lot of back roads to get to our destination and I enjoyed that journey very much. This has become my preferred path for all driving trips where it is reasonable to do so. It may take more time, but the journey will be so much better.

Here is the video:

Lyrics

This autumn morning,
With rich blue skies,
My love is here,
By my side.

Through crowded towns,
To the exit ramp,
We’re almost at,
The back roads land.

It’s peaceful here,
I’m loving this place.
Life’s good and calm,
The back roads way.

Ghosts of towns,
Scatter the way,
Old home ruins,
In fields of hay.

Clouds of shapes,
Cross a sapphire sky.
Beasts that graze,
Others will fly.

It’s peaceful here,
I’m loving this place.
Life’s good and calm,
The back roads way.

Abandoned mines,
Silos of grain.
Vast lands of grass,
Windmills with vanes.

The golden sun,
On the horizon line.
The day is done,
It’s been so fine.

It’s peaceful here,
I’m loving this place.
Life’s good and calm,
The back roads way.
