I Was

I Was - The Hit Co.

I drove up form a river town 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 window down

On a sky line drive

When she bagged me over

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 wanted to go

The road stretched out in front of us

She was ready to run

It just like i was

Told me she was twenty two

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's 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 wanted to go

The road stretched out in front of us

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 wanted to go

The road stretched out in front of us

She was ready to run it just like i was
