There’s a warm breeze blowing tonight
And the air is carrying rain
I’m standing on the side of the road
The engine seems to have failed
The road is wide and dirt
And the horizon is farther than you might think
I’m alone but I’m not so afraid
As you would be
For me
The clouds are gathering
But the tow truck is in on the way
And I’m sure I’ll be okay
The engine seems to have failed
But I haven’t
I know that isn’t what you’d think
I’m alone but I’m not so afraid
As you would be
For me
I left this morning with an ache in my heart
And now I’m here by the side of road
And it’s starting to rain
The road turns to puddles of mud
But I’ll be okay
The tow will be here soon
I’m still alone but I’m not so afraid
As you would be
For me
Here’s the tow
Everything will be okay and I’ll be on my way
Still alone but not afraid
Not afraid at all
Of a road that’s long and wide
The engine failed but I did not.
