[Verse 1]
I charged out on that Interstate in a great big huff
The fight we'd had just made me feel I'd had enough
I felt like drivin' anywhere if it left you far behind
And I hated you at Exit 59
[Verse 2]
I pa**ed the cars, I pa**ed the trucks, I pa**ed 'em all
Saw you sittin' home just waitin' for my call
My angry heart would not allow an ounce of sympathy
It was cold as ice at Exit 63
[Verse 3]
With every pa**in' mile the question seemed to grow
Who was right and who was wrong and who's to know
My anger turned to sorrow as the tears began to pour
What a tangled mind at Exit 84
[Bridge]
The city slowly faded into farms and fields
The world took on a different point of view
I loosened up my grip around that steering wheel
And I wondered if you were sorry too
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 4]
I rolled the window down at Exit 91
Felt the cool wind blowin' through my hair
I saw a crimson light embrace a setting sum
And suddenly I wished you were there
[Verse 5]
I couldn't wait to stop and find a telephone
To call you up and tell you I was comin' home
Funny how a ribboned road can make you change your mind
And I loved you at Exit 99

Funny how a ribboned road can make you change your mind
