Bruce Springsteen - Wreck On The Highway Lyrics

Wreck On The Highway
Last night i was out driving
Coming home at the end of the working day
I was riding alone through the drizzling rain
On a deserted stretch of a county two-lane
When i cam upon a wreck on the highway

There was blood and glass all over
And there was nobody there but me
As the rain tumbled down hard and cold
I seen a young man lying by the side of the road
He cried mister, won't you help me please

An ambulance finally came and took him to riverside
I watched as they drove him away
And i thought of a girlfriend or a young wife
And a state trooper knocking in the middle of the night
To say your baby died in a wreck on the highway

Sometimes i sit up in the darkness
And i watch my baby as she sleeps
Then i climb in bed and i hold her tight
I just lay there awake in the middle of the night
Thinking 'bout the wreck on the highway
