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........

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.

Told me she was twenty two
           F                 C
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
G                C
Her boyfriend, she cut him loose
     F                    C
Too cold for a wedding in January
G                  C               F            C
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
A              F                 C           F
She said, "Im sorry, but you were right to move on"  and.......

(repeat chorus)

A             F         C             F
Aint it funny how everything hinges on a twist of fate
A           F            C           F
She held my hand and said "Arent you amazed"  and......

(repeat chorus)
