[Verse]
ALast night I was out drivinDg
A| E   E4| E  
Coming home at the end of the working day
I was rAiding alone through the drizzling rain
On a deDserted stretch of a county two lane
When I cAame upon a Ewreck on the highAway
Now there was blood and glass all oveDr
A| E   E4| E  
And there was nobody there but me
As the rain Atumbled down hard and cold
I seen a Dyoung man lying by the side of the road
He cried MAister, wEon't you help me pAlease
[Organ solo]

[Verse]
An ambulance finally came and took him to RiversidDe
A| E   E4| E  
I watched as they drove him away
And I tAhought of a girlfriend or a young wife
And a sDtate trooper knocking in the middle of the night
To say your bAaby died in a wEreck on the highAway
Sometimes I sit up in the darknesDs
A| E   E4| E  
And I watch my baby as she sleeps
Then I Aclimb in bed and I hold her tight
I just Dlay there awake in the middle of the nigth
Thinking A'bout the Ewreck on the highwaAy
