| Outside a storm was blowin',
|
| And the rain was whippin' down,
|
| But she’d set her mind on going,
|
| to visit out of town.
|
| Give my love to your mum and dad I said,
|
| As i kissed her at the door,
|
| and the words came automatically,
|
| Like a thousand times before.
|
| Drive safely darlin',
|
| There’s a long long road ahead,
|
| And the weatherman says the freezing rain may turn to snow,
|
| Mind how you go,
|
| Drive safely darlin'
|
| Mind how you go,
|
| Drive safely darlin'
|
| It was kinda fun without her,
|
| Just being on my own,
|
| But as usual by the evening,
|
| I was wishing she was home,
|
| And I thought to myself when she gets back,
|
| I’ll show her how I care,
|
| And on that god forsaken night,
|
| I said me a little prayer.
|
| Drive safely darlin',
|
| There’s a long long road ahead,
|
| And the weatherman says the freezing rain may turn to snow,
|
| Mind how you go,
|
| Drive safely darlin'
|
| Mind how you go,
|
| Drive safely darlin'
|
| Well I waited and I worried,
|
| As the long night dragged on by,
|
| And I thought my prayers where answered,
|
| When a car drew up outside,
|
| But a stranger stood there by the door,
|
| And I knew it at a glance,
|
| He said,
|
| There’s been an accident,
|
| She didn’t stand a chance.
|
| Drive safely darlin',
|
| That was our last goodbye,
|
| Till the day I die I’ll wonder why I let her go,
|
| In the wind and snow,
|
| Drive safely darlin'
|
| I’ll never know,
|
| Drive safely darlin',
|
| I miss her so,
|
| Drive safely darlin'
|
| I’ll never know |
