Backseat

Eight years old in an old mobile

Mama's feet on the dash, Daddy's hands on the wheel

Every ten minutes sayin', "How long 'til we're there?"

Watchin' the pines turn into palm trees

With the windows down so I could breathe

A little bit, that's where you saw water in the air

And those wheels keep spinnin'

And they take me with them

Just a road trip down to a beach town, but to me

I saw the whole world in the backseat

♪

17 in a hand-me-down

I pick her up just to roll around

And we drive up to where the lights don't hide the stars

We were right where we wanted to be

Didn't have to say a word to say everything

We were tryin' so hard not to take it too far

But damn, we take it too far

And those wheels keep spinnin'

And they take me with them

Just a kiss in the middle of nowhere, but to me

I saw the whole world in the backseat

I saw the whole world in the backseat, yeah

Here I am grown up now

Hospital bracelets, elevator down

Grab the keys, pull the car around

Buckle in the baby, safe and sound

Oh-oh

And those wheels keep spinnin'

And they take me with them

And those wheels keep spinnin'

And they take me with them

Just a look into the rearview, but to me

I saw the whole world in the backseat

I saw the whole world in the backseat, yeah

Oh-ooh

Yeah, I saw the whole world in the backseat
