there’s a wreck on the highway tonight
there’s a wreck in my town, there’s a wreck on my block,
there’s a wreck in my house tonight
and the wreck on the highway is all right
we might walk away tonight from the wreck on the highway

Saturday morning we had big plans
throw some food in a basket and go to the country with our friends
we was gonna have some big fun you bet
I don’t know why I put the .44 in with the cigarettes
I just didn’t know it would play like a wreck on the highway

there’s a wreck on the highway tonight
there’s a wreck in my town, there’s a wreck on my block,
there’s a wreck in my house tonight
and the wreck on the highway is all right
tonight we might walk away from the wreck on the highway

Saturday morning we parked the car
I remember the sun shining down but it looked like a star
when it happened I couldn’t hear
I didn’t see it coming not even in the rear view mirror
I just didn’t know that day about the wreck on the highway

there’s a wreck on the highway tonight
there’s a wreck in my town, there’s a wreck on my block,
there’s a wreck in my house tonight
and the wreck on the highway is all right
we might walk away from the wreck
from the wreck on the highway
