song lyrics

Doing eighty or ninety,
One breezy summer's eve,
We were out on the highway, about to take
An exit none of us would believe.

Destiny merged in, uninvited;
We were all caught off guard.
An odyssey we had all ignited,
Reduced to a smoking shard.

Chorus
And I ask myself now, in my hindsight above,
Was I with my true friends, or the woman I love?
I wonder, would I have changed the people inside,
If I had known it would be my last ride?

There's no telling what happened after
I entered a brand new realm,
Where the faces of dear old friends
Brought new reflection to the helm.

Always thought I'd have time to cherish
Future joyrides with every one.
Had I known that tonight, I'd perish,
What could I have possibly done?

Chorus (3x)
