last night i was out driving ,
E Esus4 E
coming home at the end of the working day
A
i was riding alone through the drizzling rain ,
D
on a deserted stretch of a county two – lane ,
A E A Asus4 A
when i came upon a wreck on the highway

aus2 A Asus4 A
now there was blood and glass all over ,
E Esus4 E
and there was nobody there but me
A
as the rain tumbled down hard and cold ,
D
i seen a young man lying by the side of the road ,
A E A Asus4 a aus2
he cried mister , won’t you help me , please

an ambulance finally came and took him to riverside ,
E Esus4 E
i watched as they drove him away
A
and i thought of a girlfriend or a young wife ,
D
and a state trooper knocking in the middle of the night ,
A E A Asus4 A
to say your baby died in a wreck on the highway

Asus2 A Asus4 A
sometimes i sit up in the darkness ,
E Esus4 E
and i watch my baby as she sleeps
A
then i climb in bed and i hold her tight ,
D
i just lay there awake in the middle of the night ,
A E A Asus4 A
thinking ’bout the wreck on the highway
