I’ve never taken this curve   Drivin’ this fast before   A glowin’ 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 guess 95   Well maybe I’ll fix it and maybe I won’t   It depends on my bein’ alive      Well my bottle of bourbon is gone   Flew away all by itself   So if ever you find it   Put my photo behind it   In memory of me on your shelf      Well it’s been rainin’ all day   And it’s been rainin’ all night   A slip-n-slide highway   And I’m movin’ sideways   I’m loose but my steering wheel’s tight      Well my ‘63 Ford is a bull   She’s 4000 pounds at least   But metal surrenders   When old 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 talkin’   Hitch-hikin’, walkin’   We’ll see you in Concord tonight      And now we’re just walkin’   We’re hitch-hikin’, talkin’   We’ll see you in Concord tonight.
