The Wreck I’ll Never Forget

I seen a kid pushin’ eighty-five, Headlights blind in the midnight sky. He passed me once, he never passed again, Met his maker at the highway’s bend.

They pulled his body from twisted steel, Father’s name on a cross in the field. I still see that fire in the rain, Some sights a man can’t wash away.

The wreck I’ll never forget, Haunts me down every mile I get. Highway whispers, blood on the blacktop set, The wreck I’ll never forget.

I seen drunks laid cold in the grass, Dreams burned out when the tank ran fast. I seen mothers cry at the flashing lights, The road don’t care who it takes tonight.

Twenty years, these eyes been scarred, By broken prayers and dashboard cards. And every time I close ‘em tight, The ghosts still drive with me at night.

The wreck I’ll never forget, Haunts me down every mile I get. Highway whispers, blood on the blacktop set, The wreck I’ll never forget.

The road don’t warn, the road don’t wait… It just delivers you to fate.

The wreck I’ll never forget, Haunts me down every mile I get. Headlights fade, but the shadows are set… The wreck I’ll never forget.
