I Was lyrics

I drove up form rivertown it was late September early October
Thought maybe I could clear my mind and see the leaves turn red
The tune`s up and the windows down
Hallelujah what a beautiful morning
Were the first words that she said
Her eyes were blue as the sky on a perfect blue ridge day
She said I could use a lift if you`re going my way and

I was I was headed south I was headed out
Headed nowhere or anywhere we waited to go
The road stretched out in front of us
And she was ready to run it just like I was

Told me she was twenty-two
And she`d just broken out of William and Mary
Another summer under her daddy`s roof was all that she could do
Her boyfriend she cut him loose
Too cold for a wedding in January
She said that enough about me tell me about you
I rambled on about broken harts and staying too long
She said I`m sorry but you were right to move on and

I was I was headed south I was headed out
Headed nowhere or anywhere we waited to go
The road stretched out in front of us
And she was ready to run it just like I was

Ain`t it funny how everything hinges on a twist of fate
She held my hand and said aren`t you amazed and

I was I was headed south I was headed out
Headed nowhere or anywhere we waited to go
The road stretched out in front of us
And she ready to run it just like I was
