I hit the Tennessee Valley with the snow coming down
Pulled the car over and took a good long look around
I had the future in my headlights
The wind at my back
I heard my darling softly sleeping
Curled up in the back
Hitched up to a four by eight with everything we owned
I said " Honey, I think that we're home."
It's been fourteen days since my home town well ran dry
Didn't seem to take too long to pack it up
And say goodbye
So long to broken promises
Adios to the bitter end
That highway's rushing at us
Looking like a long lost friend
One door closes and another swings wide
Hey baby, it's snowing outside
I've been trying and hoping and crying
That things might turn out otherwise
But sometimes the hardest moments
Can be a blessing in disguise
Somebody once told me and I know that it's true
If you hide away from the world
It'll come looking for you
So I will go where I'm taken
I will look where I'm led
Let your body be my blanket
Your love be my bed
One door opens and another shuts tight
Suddenly everything's right
I've been saying and hoping and praying
That things might turn out otherwise
But sometimes the hardest moments
Can be a blessing in disguise
I've been trying and hoping and crying
That things might turn out otherwise
But sometimes the hardest moments
Can be a blessing in disguise
Sometimes the hardest moments
Can be a blessing in disguise
