Story Behind The Song
I was coming home from a gig one night and was stopped at a traffic light...I was checking out the guy in the car behind me in my rear view mirror and, well, I got caught! He knew that I knew that
he knew that I was lookin'...Immediately upon realzing this I did what any other self respecting woman would do...I looked away as
if to say "I wasn't looking at you..." ....Which got me to thinking..Why did I look away? What if our eyes met in the mirror,
and we both went into the same fantasy? All in the time it takes from one red light to turn to green...
Song Description
Many people spend their best quality "alone" time driving in their car...thinking...The two people in this song find themselves one behind the other at a traffic light...they catch each other's eyes the
rear view mirror and get caught up in the same fantasy...dreaming about each other but not realizing it...and then the light turns green....

Lyrics
Highway Fantasy
VERSE
Steamy...hot music playing in the night
Would She ever fill her heart and find a love that's right...
And She drove into the night
VERSE
He's dreaming....daydreaming, driving in his car
love seemed so close and yet so far...it wasn't right
And he drove into the night
CHORUS
In just one second everything can change
One brief moment and your heart gets rearranged, and...
Bang! Just like a shot...As the car in back got nearer...
Eyeball to Eyeball in the rear view mirror
Oh it couldn't be...impossibility...
They just couldn't see they shared a highway Fantasy...
A Highway Fantasy....
VERSE
It's funny...sometimes you never really know
like a fragrance from a flower the wind just blows your way...
It happens every day
CHORUS:
In just one second everything can change...one brief moment your heart gets rearranged and...
Bang! Just like a shot...as the car in back got nearer
Eyeball to eyeball in the rear view mirror
Oh, it couldn't be....imposibility
They just couldn't see they shared a Highway Fantasy..Fantasy
A Highway Fantasy
VERSE
Chances...They wonder "Should we take a chance?"
"Have we met before or is it happenstance...?" (They'll never know..)
Green light says "Yes, it's time to go..."
CHORUS:
A few brief moments at a traffic light...will he go left? Will she go right?
Bang! Just like a shot...as the car in back got nearer...
Eyeball to eyeball in the rear view mirror...
Oh, it coulnd't be...impossibility...
They just couldn't see they shared a Highway Fantasy.....
