Lyrics
HIGHWAY 93 by Eric Robert Kiefer
I was only passing through
I didn't even plan to stop for gas
But, who'd have guessed that when my engine blew
That you'd be in the first car that would pass
and I stood there staring, not even caring
that our parting words had been goodbye
The last time I used this stretch of highway
It was to put your memory behind me
I never thought that where my road would end
Would be the place that you would be
On Highway 93
I muttered out a weak hello
And I thought I saw the old look in your eyes
You said there's something I should know
And that's when I heard the baby cry
you said you tried to reach me to say you're sorry
but a man who's on the road is hard to find
It's hard to think that all my driving
Started as a way to find me someplace new
It took a year to put some space between us
And just a twist of fate or two
To lead me back to you...
repeat chorus
