In The Curve

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.
