Allison Miranda

[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
