Wreck On The Highway Last night i was out driving Coming home at the end of the working day I was riding alone through the drizzling rain On a deserted stretch of a county two-lane When i cam upon a wreck on the highway
There was blood and glass all over And there was nobody there but me As the rain tumbled down hard and cold I seen a young man lying by the side of the road He cried mister, won't you help me please
An ambulance finally came and took him to riverside
I watched as they drove him away And i thought of a girlfriend or a young wife And a state trooper knocking in the middle of the night To say your baby died in a wreck on the highway
Sometimes i sit up in the darkness And i watch my baby as she sleeps Then i climb in bed and i hold her tight I just lay there awake in the middle of the night Thinking 'bout the wreck on the highway
