Back Road With My Cat

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sun on the dash
Arm out the window
You in the passenger seat
Tiny queen of this late show
Paws on the glass
Eyes on the fields
You catch every shadow
Like you’re hunting down my fears

Pre-Chorus
I got nowhere to be
Just you in that little bell collar
Clicking to the beat of my heart
As the sky gets taller

Chorus
Back road with my cat
Yeah, we’re chasing nothing
Hair in the wind
Engine humming, something
Feels like I’m finally
Right where I’m at
World in the rearview
Back road with my cat
(oh, back road with my cat)

Verse 2
Gravel kicks up
Old farm sign leaning
You watch the birds take off
Like you know what freedom means
Talking out loud
Like you might answer
You blink once, slow
Like, girl, it doesn’t matter

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been running all week
From a list that just gets longer
But your quiet little smile
Kinda says I’m stronger

Chorus
Back road with my cat
Yeah, we’re chasing nothing
Hair in the wind
Engine humming, something
Feels like I’m finally
Right where I’m at
World in the rearview
Back road with my cat
(back road, back road)

Bridge
Lights off, stars on
You curl up in my lap at the stop
Every wrong turn I’ve drawn
Fades out in the soft tick-tock
Of the cooling hood
Of this borrowed time
I scratch your head and laugh
I’m alright, I’m fine (yeah)

Chorus
Back road with my cat
Yeah, we’re chasing nothing
Laughing at the days
That tried to tell us something
Feels like I’m finally
Done looking back
Future on the windshield
Back road with my cat
(oh, back road with my cat)
