[Verse 1] He kicked you out by the side of the road All alone in the dead of the night You were scared and chilled to the bone When I saw you in my headlights Rain pouring down, you soaked to the skin Pleading with me to take you in Couldn't drive on and leave you alone In there in the dead of the night Alone in the dead of the night [Verse 2] I took you home and dried your clothes Found out about the shape you were in Heard your story and all your worry You could never go back again I held you close all through the night And everything changed with the morning light
(I) didn't think we would both be alone If I'd taken that other road home If I'd taken that other road home [Chorus] But I listen to that silent voice Stopping me cold like I had no choice Doing what I could for someone else Didn't know I was saving myself Didn't know I was saving myself [Verse 3] What was the reason, what was the chance I'd find my redemption in you So much more than circumstance I knew what I had to do [Chorus] When I listen... Didn't know I was saving myself
