Headed south out of Thunder Bay

Hit the interstate

And let the hand of fate just lead him on

She was heading north out of Baton Rouge

Nothing left to lose

All she knew was she had to get gone



Her engine blew in some Mississippi river town

He was passing through when she flagged him down



Hey, you never ever know

Where the road will lead you

When you learn how to let go

They found something real

Something they could feel

When they let love take the wheel



Later on on down the road

When the radio

Played a song about Winslow Arizona

She said I'd love to stand on the corner there

He took it as a dare

Shifted gears and said tonight you're gonna



He talked about the future, she cried about the past

They talked about forever and never looked back



(Chorus 2x)
