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
