lyrics

As I ride these ole’, worn back roads
I hear the stories once left untold
Of the women and men who built this land
Some with hearts, some bare hands

Some built families, farms, and friends
Some climbed mountains, it just depends
But the heart of these who’ve gone before
Enrich us to our freedom core

Chorus
These ole’ back roads, These freedom trails,
These avenues drenched in light. These cart path lanes,
Across great plains,

These ole’ back roads, Is where you roam
These freedom trails, They’ll take you home
These cart path lanes, Across great plains,
I’ll be with you tonight

I may be a stranger looking in
But I’ve heard these stories of the women and men
And I’ll share them with you from these back roads
From the heart of America, I suppose

No statues in the park, where they left their mark
No words in the history books
No holidays along the ways
Just plain old blood and guts

Chorus
These ole’ back roads, These freedom trails,
These avenues drenched in light. These cart path lanes,
Across great plains,

These ole’ back roads, Is where you roam
These freedom trails, They’ll take you home
These cart path lanes, Across great plains,
I’ll be with you tonight

I’ll be with you tonight
On these ole’ back roads

about

Marc Durandeau Miami, Florida

Wandering American roads, I'm a foreigner drawn to its people. As a singer-songwriter, the banjo's twang and steel guitar's cry bring solace. In the countryside, I've found home, where family stories intertwine. American folk music resonates deep within. Through my songs, I weave these tales into melodies that speak of peace, love, and the comfort of belonging. ... more
