Lyrics

[Verse 1] On a two lane north of Casper Is where this all begins Heading back to Oklahoma For a week to visit friends She was walking along the highway So I pulled off to the side And asked her if she needed a ride We tor up that ole blacktop Until we found I-25 And just into Colorado She asked if she could drive I'd never met nobody like her I'd never laughed so much And I grew hungry for her touch [Chorus] I used to think of autumn As sweaters and leaves And I used to think the night Was just for dreamers and thieves But that was before she came Allison Miranda was her name [Verse 2] By the time that we hit Kansas We both felt pretty beat So we found ourselves a motel And grabbed a bite to eat We'd rest a few short hours Soon we'd be out of there Three days later we came up for air [Chorus] I used to think of autumn As sweaters and leaves And I used to think the night Was just for dreamers and thieves But that was before she came Allison Miranda was her name [Verse 3] Now I can't forget The morning when I woke alone in bed To a rose left on her pillow And a goodbye note that read You cannot grow a flower If you do not have the seed Now I've got everything I need [Chorus] I used to think of autumn As sweaters and leaves And I used to think the night Was just for dreamers and thieves But that was before she came Allison Miranda was her name
