     GIRL ON THE HIGHWAY


As your heading down that highway,
Searching for a place to go,
Can you not see the stop sign,
Or are you too afraid to slow?

Is there something that your running from?
An old enemy, bet or beau?
Can't you face the things you can't see?
Or even don't show?

The Girl that's lying on the highway
Never had the chance,
When she left at 6P.M.
For the High School Dance.

Now because your stupidness
And problems with the drink,
This girl lies dead on the highway
Because of your failure to think.

The world is spinning round you
And you really can't think,
The pain you caused this girl,
Makes you crave another drink.

When you took that last drink,
Telling Joe "I'll be ok"
This girl's fate was decided,
Solved with a drink.

So maybe next time you'll remember that girl,
Say no to that last drink,
Go home to your wife and children
And have the ability to think.

Next time when you think to driink and drive,
Remember to think,
About that girl lying on the highway,
Dead at your feet.
