| Well here we are again, same old bar stool |
| I’m looking at the clock like, «Man, where are you?» |
| Maybe you ran out of gas, maybe you picked up a shift |
| Maybe you’re just running late, ah yea that must be it |
| I don’t know why you ain’t answering my calls |
| I don’t know why but I think it’s all my fault |
| I’m just tryna make sense of it all |
| But some things don’t make sense at all, damn |
| They say it’s darkest before the dawn |
| They say no one’s ever really gone |
| They tell me that I gotta stay strong |
| But right now I’m just missing my friend |
| I know heaven is a place on earth |
| We’re all going, you just got there first |
| Between the pines, 'round that old creek bend |
| Wait for me where the backroad ends |
| Where the backroad ends |
| Can’t wait to see you again |
| Where the backroad ends |
| Some night I drive around the city all alone |
| And I stop by your house, see if you’re momma’s home |
| She asks me to stay for dinner, we sit down and talk about ya |
| We go through old photographs and laugh, man, it’s hard without ya |
| Remember where we used to park |
| And stay out 'til way after dark |
| Away from the noise and under the stars |
| I like to think that’s where you are |
| They say it’s darkest before the dawn |
| They say no one’s ever really gone |
| They tell me that I gotta stay strong |
| But right now I’m just missing my friend |
| I know heaven is a place on earth |
| We’re all going, you just got there first |
| Between the pines, 'round that old creek bend |
| Wait for me where the backroad ends |
| Where the backroad ends |
| Can’t wait to see you again |
| Where the backroad ends |
| I’ll tell ya Strawberry Wine came on the radio last night and man, I cried |
| Thought about all the times we had together |
| You always think they’re gonna last forever, damn |
| They say it’s darkest before the dawn |
| They say no one’s ever really gone |
| They tell me that I gotta stay strong |
| But right now I’m just missing my friend |
| I know heaven is a place on earth |
| We’re all going, you just got there first |
| Between the pines, 'round that old creek bend |
| Wait for me where the backroad ends |
| Where the backroad ends |
| Can’t wait to see you again |
| Where the backroad ends |
| I hope you got a smile on your face |
| And your heart’s at peace, amen |
| Where the backroad ends |
