    "Backroads & Roadtrips"

    Won't you take a trip with me
    Down those old dirt roads we used to know
    Driving out past the old mill
    Where the smell of sawdust filled our lungs
    Do you remember the songs
    We used to sing just to pass the time
    The steering wheel was our mic
    And the car tires were our only stage

    We'll never be that young again
    All we can do is
    Think back on the memories we made
    I want to feel that young again
    So won't you please just
    Please just take one last roadtrip with me

    I can still remember it
    The night I told you just how I felt
    The air was frigid yet warm
    Your lips seemed to take it all away
    The bonfire we made was
    Well, it was such a sight to see now
    I can still smell the ashes
    Of our love burning on that cold night

    We'll never be that young again
    All we can do is
    Think back on the memories we made
    I want to feel that young again
    So won't you please just
    Please just take one last roadtrip with me

    And now I'm just
    I'm just counting down the minutes
    Counting down the minutes
    Until I can be with you again
    And now I'm just
    I'm just counting down the minutes
    Counting down the minutes
    Until I can be with you again

    Sing

    We'll never be that young again
    All we can do is
    Think back on the memories we made
    I want to feel that young again
    So won't you please just
    Won't you please just
    Take one last

    We'll never be that young again
    All we can do is
    Think back
    Think back on the memories we made
    I want to feel that young again
    So won't you please just
    Won't you please just
    Please just take one last roadtrip with me

    As I sit here
    Praying for something that I will never forget
    I'll dry my tears
    Waiting for something, something that is so perfect
    Something perfect

    And now I'm just
    I'm just counting down the minutes
    Counting down the minutes
    Until I can be with you again
    I'm just counting down the minutes
    Counting down the minutes
    Counting down the minutes
    Until I can be with you again

    I like it :p it really takes you to that place
    i think it has a bit of a Nickelback feel with the sing behind the steering wheel
    that's what it reminded me of ... it's great

    It's really good. It does remind me of Nickelback, most of it. I think the chorus really fits in well.

    I didn't even have Nickelback in mind when I wrote this song. But I guess it's cool that it reminds people of them. Maybe.

    But thanks for the comments.
