I drove up from a rivertown, it was late September early October.
G C F

Thought maybe I could clear my mind and see the leaves turn red.
G C
The tunes up and the windows down
F C
On the skyline drive when she flagged me over
G C
"Hallelujah what a beautiful morning"
F C
Where the first words that she said
A F C F
Her eyes were blue as the sky on a perfect blue ridge day
A F C F
She said, "I could use a lift if you're going my way," and........
Chorus:
A Asus4 A F
I was............ I was headed south, I was headed out
C F C G
headed nowhere or anywhere we wanted to go
A F C F
The road stretched out in front of us
C F A
And she was ready to run it just like I was.
G C
Told me she was twenty two

and she'd just broken out of William and Mary
G C F

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, "thats enough about me now tell me about you"
A F C F
I rambled on about broken hearts and staying too long

Aint it funny how everything hinges on a twist of fate
