In the rear view mirror I see the road I've just driven
Weaving through the countryside like a ribbon of black
Till it looks like it disappears way in the back
I know it just goes on
In the rear view mirror I see a whole lot of living
At 60 miles an hour it goes by real fast
And even the mountains look smaller once they're past
In a few more miles they'll be gone
In the rear view mirror I see the road that brought me where I am
It supports me like a lifeline and it calls me like a friend
There's a point on the horizon I'm headed and all I do is steer
And glance at the life I left behind
In the rear view mirror
In the rear view mirror I see the chances I was given
Though at the time it only seemed I was going from here to there
The choices I made were spoken like a prayer
While the tires on the blacktop sang along
Somewhere behind me are city skylines and old farm homes
People live their whole lives in towns I'll never know
Some places I want to remember and some I can't forget
There's a place for me to settle down, I haven't found it yet
In the rear view mirror I see the road that brought me where I am
It supports me like a lifeline and it calls me like a friend
There's a point on the horizon I'm headed and all I do is steer
And glance at the life I left behind
In the rear view mirror
Glance at the life I left behind
In the rear view mirror
