[A] Last night I was driving, coming home at the end of a working [E] day.
[A] I was riding along through the trestle and drain, on [D] a deserted stretch of a county to
a lonely land [A] when I came upon [E] a wreck on the [A] highway.
Now there was blood and glass all over, and there was nobody there but [E] me.
As [A] the rain tumbled down hard and cold, I [D] seen a young man lying by the side of the road,
[A] cried, Mr.
[E] won't you help me [A] [Dm] please.

An ambulance finally came and took him to Riverside.
I watched as they drove him [E] away.
[A] And I thought of a girlfriend, a dirty young wife, [D] and a state trooper knocking in the middle of the night
to [A] see her baby die [E] in a wreck on the [A] highway.
Sometimes I sit up in the darkness, and I watch my baby as she [E] sleeps.
Then I [A] climb in bed and hold her tight.
I [D] just lay there awake in the middle of the night,
[A] thinking about [E] the wreck on the [A]
highway.
