Lyrics
Took a long trip to clear my head out
There she was by the shoulder
Long blond hair pulled back with her thumb out
Pretty face lit up soon as I stopped for her
Gorgeous with a laugh so contagious
Told me stories from the start
Every last word blew me away. Just
Opened up my eyes that day in the car
I was overcome with emotions
I'd been missing for awhile
Been looking for new meaning in my life
Might have found it in her smile
She asked me how far are you going
I said "Well, what's on your mind
Your smeared makeup tells me there's something
If you'd like to talk, girl, I've got the time
As she talked we made a connection
The longing in her eyes spoke
Saying she liked going in this direction
Never before did I drive quite so slow
I was overcome with emotions
I'd been missing for awhile
Been looking for new meaning in my life
Thought I'd found it in her smile
Passing through towns I didn't see
I lost track of the miles
She kept inching closer to me
Till it was too hard to drive
I was overcome with emotions
I'd been missing for awhile
Been looking for new meaning in my life
And I found it in her smile, in her smile
