Verse 1:
C                      G      C
On the backroads of my memory
                              G  C
There’s a truck bed loaded down
                    Em
Leavin’ town with a six string
            C                                  G    C
Suitcase, a bad dream and a heartache to sing about
 
 
Verse 2:
                                   G         C
Worn tires on a two night drive to Nashville
                          G            C
Tryna make a name in that bright light
                  Em
Chasin’ that neon rainbow and honky tonks
            C                         G
And gettin’ lost on them low broadway lights
                         C
They’re still burnin’ in my mind

Chorus:
Em                   C           G
You can’t stop those wheels from turnin’ round
Em               C             G
You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah
     Am                                   Em
Some things stay out with the winds of yesterday
                  F                              D
Some things are always there everytime I drive by
                       G
On the backroads of my memory
 
 
Verse 3:
G
I’m hangin’ on to her at every curve
                        Em
And I’m right back to a slow song on the radio
         C
Learnin’ everything we didn’t know
G                                 C
Feels so right got you on my mind right now
C
Ain’t it funny how
 
 
Chorus:
Em                   C           G
You can’t stop those wheels from turnin’ round
Em               C             G
You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah
     Am                                   Em
Some things stay out with the winds of yesterday
                  F                              D
Some things are always there everytime I drive by
                       C
On the backroads of my memory, woah

Bridge:
                       G      C
On the backroads of my memory
                                   G  C
There’s a couple turns I coulda made
                      Em
Maybe missed all them dead ends
                        C
Kept a few friends, but then again
                                        G
I might’ve missed her right along the way
       C
Right alone the way, yeah
 
 
Chorus:
Em                   C           G
You can’t stop those wheels from turnin’ round
Em               C             G
You only get one ride on the river of time, yeah
     Am                                   Em
Some things stay out with the winds of yesterday
                  F                              D
Some things are always there everytime I drive by
                       G      C
On the backroads of my memory
 
 
Outro:
                       G      C

On the backroads of my memory
