Skyline Road

Driving past midnight on Skyline Road
I slowed down and she got in
I said, sister, you tell me where I can take you
I don't even know where I've been

She didn't look me in the eye
Her voice was cold and clear
She closed the door on the Skyline Road
And said, take me away from here

Chorus: Take me away, take me away, take me away from here
Take me away, take me away from here.

I said, are you going to your true love
Are you running away from home
What brings you to stand on the Skyline Road
In the snow and the dark all alone?

(Chorus)

I must have been almost asleep at the wheel
I looked up and there was the dawn
I turned to my lady to ask her to drive
There was ice on the windshield, and I was alone.
(1996)
