Bruce Springsteen - Wreck on the Highway lyrics

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 came 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
