Circle Back

If I were making good time down a dark highway 
And saw your car broken down in a fiery blaze 
I would consider continuing on my way 
Even if no one would see you, no one for days. 
You are bankrupt. You are full of deceit. 
You are a coward. You are a thief. 
How apt a sight, you consumed in heat. 
Your loss would be no cause for grief. 
Despite it all I would circle back
With my senses clear, my mind on track.
