Last night I was out driving, 

                                      E  Esus4 E
Coming home at the end of the working day 

      A
I was riding alone through the drizzling rain,

       D
On a deserted stretch of a county two-lane,

       A           E                A  Asus4 A
When I came upon a wreck on the highway 

                              Asus2 A   Asus4 A
Now there was blood and glass all   over, 

                               E  Esus4 E
And there was nobody there but me 

       A
As the rain tumbled down hard and cold,

         D
I seen a young man lying by the side of the road,

         A       E                  A    Asus4 A Asus2  
He cried mister, won't you help me, please
F#m A F#m A Asus4 A

An ambulance finally came and took him to Riverside,

                             E  Esus4 E
I watched as they drove him away 

      A
And I thought of a girlfriend or a young wife,

      D
And a state trooper knocking in the middle of the night,

            A              E                A  Asus4 A 
To say your baby died in a wreck on the highway

                Asus2     A       Asus4 A
Sometimes I sit up in the darkness, 

                           E   Esus4  E
And I watch my baby as she sleeps 

       A
Then I climb in bed and I hold her tight,

       D
I just lay there awake in the middle of the night,

A                  E                A  Asus4 A 
Thinking 'bout the wreck on the highway
