OUTSIDE A
STORM WAS BLOWIN'
AND THE RAIN
WAS WHIPPIN' DOWN
BUT SHE'D SET
HER MIND ON GOIN'
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 AUTOMATIALLY
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 EVENIN'
I WAS WISHIN' 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
THEN I THOUGHT MY
PRAYERS WERE 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 ACIDENT
SHE DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE"
DRIVE SAFELY DARLIN'
THAT WAS OUR LAST GOODBYE
'TIL THE DAY I DIE
I'LL WONDER WHY I LET HER GO
IN THE RAIN AND SNOW
I'LL NEVER KNOW
I MISS HER SO
DRIVE SAFELY DARLIN'
WHY'D I LET HER GO
DRIVE SAFELY DARLIN'
WHY'D I LET HER GO
DRIVE SAFELY DARLIN'
