	Story Behind the Song There are no hidden meanings in this song. It is just a pure story as the lyrics tell. It was recorded with Danny Oberbeck on drums and Lief Frederick on bass. I did all of the guitars and vocals. Lyrics Just outside of Elko right before a storm She was stranded with four kids trying to keep warm That beat up old Failane had driven it's last mile He pulled over to the side and offered her a smile He got them to a motel room a half mile down the road He told her not to worry he could help her with her load She said her husband left her with nothing but that car And said it was a miracle it ever got that far Home sweet home in a '62 Fairlane Too desperate and cold to even feel ashamed An angel on a Harley who didn't give his name Home sweet home in a '62 Fairlane He rode on into Elko and found a house for sale Attached to a cafe called the Chisholm Trail He bought the place and set her up and said it couldn't fail And said the highway is calling I'm sure that you'll do well She kissed him on the cheek He kicked his bike in gear He looked over his shoulder and saw a stream of tears He turned around and told her I'll be back someday She stood there on the roadside and watched him ride away
