Drive Safely Darling

Outside a storm was blowing

And the rain was whipping down

But shed set her mind on going to visit out of town

Give my love to your mom and dad

I said as I kissed her at the door

And the words came automatically

Like a thousand times before

Drive safely darling

There's a long long road ahead

And the weatherman says

The freezing rain may turn to snow

Mind how you go

Drive safely darling

Mind how you go

Drive safely darling

It was kind of 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 send me a little prayer

Drive safely darling

There's a long long road ahead

And the weatherman says

The freezing rain may turn to snow

Mind how you go

Drive safely darling

Mind how you go

Drive safely darling

Well I waited and I worried

As the long night dragged on by

Then I thought my prayers were answered

When I called you 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 darling

That was our last goodbye

Till the day I die

I wonder why I let her go

In the rain and snow

I'll never know I

Miss her so drive safely darling why'd I let her go

Drive safely darling why'd I let her go
