Angel on the Road

I watched snowflakes melt on leather
Cold and young ago
The road goes on forever
The jukebox told me so
Barmaid woman friendly
Men handsome and manly
Almost I forget me, and
The lonely where I'm going

I wish I was someone else
Someone I don't even know
I wish I was somewhere else
Making angels in the snow

Small town stars are bright
High beams bright
My sad old car has died
I'll have to hitch a ride
He downshifts his beautiful rig
The door steams open and I climb in

I wish I was someone else
Someone I don't even know
I wish I was somewhere else
Making angels in the snow

I wish I was someone else
Someone I don't even know
I wish I was somewhere else
Making angels in the snow

"I'm Duane, nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet me too", I say
He asks me where I'm going
I point to the sky
"Lead the way, angel"
Duane says as the radio sings
They scraped me off that two lane
My arms spread wide as wings

I wish I was someone else
Someone I don't even know
I wish I was somewhere else
Making angels in the snow
