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 came upon a wreck on the highway
Now 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

Wreck On The Highway (Live Version)June 18, 1994 |
Last night I was out driving
Coming home at the end of a working day
Driving alone in the drizzling rain
'Cross a deserted stretch of a county two-lane
I came across a wreck on the highway
Well there was blood and glass all over
And there was nobody there but me
And as the rain came down so hard and cold
I saw a young man lying by the side of the road
Who said "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 lie there awake in the middle of the night
And I think about the wreck on the highway
I'd like to thank Bruce Springsteen.
