🌄 Why This Song Exists
Because not all roads lead back the way they came—and sometimes, the best way home is the one you carve yourself.
Backroad Soul (Frankly Spunk Remix) is a salute to the slow riders, the wanderers, the ones who know that the journey shapes the story more than the destination ever could. This track was born out of the dirt roads and dreams of the Tabula Rasa RV Tour, where each mile writes its own chapter.
This is not a song about going back.
It’s a song about choosing your own way forward.
✅ Blaze your own trail
✅ Make peace with the busted plans
✅ Find home wherever the wheels roll
🎙 What Inspired This Song
Built on the bones of a classic, this remix leans into defiant nostalgia with a Frankly Spunk twist. It’s John Denver, but with a raspy grin, a dusty pair of boots, and a middle finger to the script.
The remix delivers:
Acoustic guitars with a warm, lived-in feel
Toe-tap rhythm, gritty vocals with rebel charm
Spoken-word storytelling layered into the bridge
Harmony echoes like voices down an old backroad
The production stands tall with that graceful grit—equal parts memory, mischief, and motion.
It doesn’t ask permission.
It just keeps driving.
✍ Lyrics Highlight
🎵 Backroad soul, take me home
Take me home — but not the way they told me
To a place that don’t control me
Ohio’s passin’ in the rearview glow
But I found peace in the exit roads I chose
These lines carry the anthem of the outlaw heart:
The freedom to ride. The courage to rewrite the map.
So roll slow. Sing loud. And never apologize for the miles it took to find your way.
🚐 Part of the Bigger Story
Backroad Soul (Frankly Spunk Remix) rides right alongside the Tabula Rasa RV Tour soundtrack.
It’s the song for those backroad stops where the plan changes, the past fades, and the road opens up ahead like a clean slate. This track drops its own pin on the map of stories, struggles, and surprises that make up the Tabula Rasa journey.
It’s not about turning back.
It’s about claiming the ride as your own.
