On that early morning
with clear skies all around me
I walked out the door
and I got into my pickup truck
And I put the window down
Then I drove down the road
so I could get out of town
with the radio on
while the wind blew through my hair
Clear skies were all around me
that morning
And while I was listening to a song
that reminded me of you
and the times we used to share
I kept reminding myself how much I cared
On that particular morning
The song on the radio was a sad song
so I changed the station
But it seemed with every station that I listened to
on the radio that morning
I kept catching myself singing
with the music looking up at the clear skies
and thinking of you
and the times that we use to share
I was half awake
in the early morning
and I was still in a daze
driving down the lonely highway
looking up to the skies
trying to get out of town
doing things my way
And all of a sudden with out a clue
I kept thinking about you
And my heart turned blue
And in the blinking of an eye
I began to realize
I was going eighty nine
while you were on my mind
This is just a friendly reminder
The next time you hear the radio
don't be driving down the road
at eighty nine like I did
Because then you will be just like me
feeling blue
and forgetting what you were supposed to do
Wishing in the moment that you were doing sixty nine
instead of eighty nine
I know the speed limit is sixty five
But I always try and drive
a little faster then that
under the blue skies
And still stay alive
Especially when I am thinking about you
Because you were on my mind
You were on my mind
