You tell me that you're leaving him
Your marriage is beyond repair
But his ring is still on your finger
I'm tired of this back roads love affair
Meeting up outside of town
And jumping every time
Someone turns their head around
In case they're a friend of mine
This back roads love affair
A losing game we play
Like a Cheap prize at the country fair
It's not worth the price we pay
It's a treacherous nightmare
That's tearing me apart
The deceptions and the lies
Tell me why did we start?
We're running down an empty road
It's not going anywhere
Up ahead's a dead end
Like this love affair
In the mirror I see a face
It's me but I'm not there
I'm gone without a trace
Buried by this back roads love affair
This back roads love affair
Has left us cold and lost
The whispers and the stares
Of friends we've double crossed
It's a treacherous nightmare
That's tearing me apart
The deceptions and the lies
Tell me why did we start?
Lets walk down main street
Together if you dare
No more sidestreet shaded
Backroads love affair
