I watched snowflakes melt on leather
Cold & young ago
The road goes on forever
The jukebox told me so
Barmaid woman friendly
Men handsome & manly
Almost I forget me
And the lonely where I'm going
I wish I was someone else
someone I don't even know
I wish I was somewhere else
making angels in the snow
Small town stars are bright
Hi-beams bright
My sad old car has died
I'll have to hitch a ride
He downshifts his beautiful rig
The door steams open & I climb in
I wish I was someone else . . .
"I'm Duane, nice to meet you.'
'Nice to meet me too', I say
He asks me where I'm going
I point to the sky
"Lead the way angel",
Duane says as the radio sings
They scraped me off that two lane
My arms spread wide as wings
I wish I was someone else
someone I don't even know
I wish I was somewhere else
making angels in the snow
