Exit 99

[Verse 1] I charged out on that Interstate in a great big huff The fight we'd had just made me feel I'd had enough I felt like drivin' anywhere if it left you far behind And I hated you at Exit 59 [Verse 2] I passed the cars, I passed the trucks, I passed 'em all Saw you sittin' home just waitin' for my call My angry heart would not allow an ounce of sympathy It was cold as ice at Exit 63 [Verse 3] With every passin' mile the question seemed to grow Who was right and who was wrong and who's to know My anger turned to sorrow as the tears began to pour What a tangled mind at Exit 84 [Bridge] The city slowly faded into farms and fields The world took on a different point of view I loosened up my grip around that steering wheel And I wondered if you were sorry too [Instrumental break] [Verse 4] I rolled the window down at Exit 91 Felt the cool wind blowin' through my hair I saw a crimson light embrace a setting sum And suddenly I wished you were there [Verse 5] I couldn't wait to stop and find a telephone To call you up and tell you I was comin' home Funny how a ribboned road can make you change your mind And I loved you at Exit 99 [Tag] Funny how a ribboned road can make you change your mind I knew I loved you at Exit 99
