it is a pinky purplue flower, it is wild and has lobbed edges, and is starting to go by in august? And it isnt a cosmo or a sweet pea. And it is a wild flower that grows on the side of the road. I would post a picture but i dont know how 2.

It's probably phlox. They vary in color from purple to pink to almost white.

Since it's wild and along the road, it might be one of the field mallows, especially if there is water near by.

I think I know the one you are talking about. They are lovely and delicate. Here are a couple of pics that you can use for identification and comparison. The primrose is what comes to my mind.
