Lyrics:
Hands at two and ten I tightly grip the steering wheel
Holdin' an old friend and still remembrin' how it feels
Freedom of the road, sixteen years old
Just like that, I go back
Cause it’s a part of me, it’s the heart of me
Shadows in my rear view
Mem’ries in the mirror are closer than they appear
Every time I swear I hear that old George Strait tune
I’m back in her arms singing along with Baby Blue
Learnin’ by mistakes, backroads, driveways
Just like that, I go back
Cause it’s a part of me, it’s the heart of me
Shadows in my rear view
Mem’ries in the mirror are closer than they appear
First kiss - fresh starts - lost friends - broke hearts
It’s a part of me, it’s the heart of me
Shadows in my rear view
Mem’ries in the mirror are closer - so much closer - than they appear
