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
