I've never taken this curve
|
Drivin' this fast before
|
A glowing stop sign
|
But both lanes are mine
|
No seat belts attached to my door
|
|
Well my speed meter don't work
|
So I'm gonna to guess ninety-five
|
Well maybe I'll fix it
|
And maybe I won't
|
It depends on my being alive
|
|
Well my bottle of bourbon is gone
|
It flew away all by itself
|
So if ever you find it
|
My photo will go behind it
|
In memory of me on your shelf
|
|
Well it's been raining all day
|
And it's been raining all night
|
A slip 'n slide highway
|
And I'm moving sideways
|
I'm loose but my steering wheels tight
|
|
Well my '63 Ford is a bull
|
She's four thousand pounds at least
|
But metal surrenders
|
When oak trees meet fenders
|
And engines go through the front seat
|
|
Well I lost control in the curve
|
And a gas line broke in the wreck
|
I walked from the ashes
|
With just a few scratches
|
My crucifix warm on my neck
|
|
Well my good Lord was with me tonight
|
Just ridin' beside me tonight
|
And now we're just talking
|
We're hitch hiking walkin'
|
We'll see you in Concord tonight
|
