I hit the Tennessee Valley with the snow coming down
Pulled the car over and took a good, long look around
I had the future in my headlights, the wind at my back
Heard my darling softly sleeping, curled up in the back
Hitched up to a 4 by 8 with everything we own
I said, “Honey, I think that we're home”

It's been 14 days since my hometown well ran dry
Didn't seem to take too long to pack it up and say goodbye
So long to broken promises, “Adios” to the bitter end
That highway's rushing at us looking like a long lost friend
One door closes and another swings wide
Hey, baby, it's snowing outside

I've been trying and hoping and crying
That things might turn out otherwise
But sometimes the hardest moments
Can be a blessing in disguise

Somebody once told me and I know that it's true
If you hide away from the world it'll come looking for you
So I will go where I am taken, I will look where I'm led
Let your body be my blanket, your love be my bed
One door opens and another shuts tight
Suddenly everything's right

I've been saying and hoping and praying
That things might turn out otherwise
But sometimes the hardest moments
Can be a blessing in disguise

I've been saying and hoping and praying
That things might turn out otherwise
Sometimes the hardest moments
Can be a blessing in disguise

I've been trying and hoping and crying
That things might turn out otherwise
Sometimes the hardest moments
Can be a blessing in disguise
Sometimes the hardest moments
Can be a blessing in disguise
