Lyrics Neal McCoy – I Was
Text:
I drove up from a 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
On the skyline drive when she flagged me over
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
And the road stretched out in front of us
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 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 now tell me about you
I rambled on about broken hearts 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
And 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 ready to run it just like I was
