I Was Lyrics - Neal Mccoy

(Charlie Black/Phil Vassar) 

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

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
