I'm Looking Up

STUCK ON A HOLIDAY OUT ON THE HIGHWAY
BROKEN DOWN IN THE ROAD
I HAD MY THUMB IN THE AIR NOBODY CARED
THEY ALL HAD BUSINESS OF THEIR OWN
SHAKING LIKE A LEAF PRAYING FOR RELIEF
GOD I SURE COULD USE A RIDE
ALONG CAME A SPIDER A LITTLE RED HEAD INSIDE HER
SAID CLIMB IN IT’S COLD OUT TONIGHT
NOW I’M LOOKING UP
I’M FILLED WITH THE WONDER
DOWN ON MY LUCK
AN ANGEL STEPS IN
THAT BEAT UP OLD TRUCK OF MINE
KNEW RIGHT WHERE TO LEAVE ME THIS TIME
WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH TO FILL MY CUP
I’M LOOKING UP
SHE HAD PLANS WITH A GIRLFRIEND TO GO OUT THAT EVENING
AND SHAKE OFF THE HOLIDAY BLUES
LIVING IN THE NEXT TOWN WITH NO FAMILY AROUND
AND ONE MORE YEAR LEFT AT SCHOOL
SHE’D HEARD OF THE DANGERS OF PICKING UP STRANGERS
BUT I LOOKED COLD AND ALONE
SO SHE TOOK A CHANCE SHE LET ME IN
AND DROVE ME ALL THE WAY HOME
MY MAMA WAS SMILING AS WE PULLED IN
AND I TOLD HER WHAT THIS GIRL HAD DONE
DARLING STAY IF YOU CAN SHE SAID MY HOUSE IS YOURS
YOU BROUGHT ME CHRISTMAS WITH MY SON
BY THE LIGHT OF THE TREE WITH A WARM LIT FIRE
IN THE COMFORT OF HER COMPANY
IT OCCURRED TO ME SOME ANGELS
LOOK A LOT LIKE YOU AND ME
