Wreck on the Highway - Bruce Springsteen

Who did you say it was brother? Who was it fell by the way? When whiskey and blood ran together Did you hear anyone pray? I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray When I heard the crash on the highway I knew what it was from the start I went to the scene of destruction And a picture was stamped on my heart The whiskey and blood ran together Mixed with the glass where they lay Death played her hand in destruction But I didn't hear nobody pray I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray I wish I could change this sad story That I am now telling you But there is no way I can change it For somebody's life is now through Their soul has been called by the Master They died in a crash on the way I heard the groans of the dying But I didn't hear nobody pray I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray

Living on the highway l russell/d nix It was twenty years ago, i was about fourteen years old, When i first heard that wolfman's howl. He sneaked me through the door, there was whisky on the floor, And the fuzz they were on the prowl It seems so long ago, I'm living on the highway now He's a giant of a man, he always understands The very best notes to use His hand make two of mine, his heart beat right on time He taught me how to sing the blues He's the reason why i choose to live on the highway now I played the blues with walter, and muddy pulled me through I know a jimmy rogers song or two But there's one thing i know, no matter where i go I can do a little howling too That's why i sing these blues, i'm living on the highway now The years have come and gone but the blues still go on I only sing my songs for fun If you ask me to, i'll do a song for you, 'Cause the women like to see me come Me and my guitar, my band, we're living on the highway now

And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am You were nothing but a smile A nervous laughter Spend the evenings in your dark blue cotton sheets And I spent years it seems just wandering through the darkness Then the answer came on that late summer breeze And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am With my fingertips I trace on your bare skin All of the things I'd like to say but cannot speak You mean everything There're not quite words enough to tell you All the things that you've become for me And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am And I don't need no secrets I give up on lies If it's gonna rain I'd rather know then be caught blind And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am

It's the end of the movie and your story's been told No one's unhappy and no one got old And your heart doesn't break and it won't weigh a ton When life is just a sitcom and that's not the atom bomb You're a sole survivor 'cause your soul survived The first to understand it, the last one alive And you know we'll live forever 'cause that's just how it goes 'Til we all remember what everybody knows Just keep your eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway Eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway You, me, heading down the road now In front of seven billion souls now Just keep your eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway I know something doesn't feel right When you're blinded by the headlights Just keep your eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway You would die for each other and you probably will For every lover a lover, if looks could kill I would die in your arms 'cause that's the way to go And I won't disappoint you 'cause you will never know For every second that I wasted, every secret that I told Every lie I've ever whispered to everyone involved I couldn't be more sorry about how I got things done I just want to be John Travolta to Olivia Newton-John You, me, heading down the road now In front of seven billion souls now Just keep your eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway I know something doesn't feel right When you're blinded by the headlights Just keep your eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway Eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway You, me, heading down the road now In front of seven billion souls now Just keep your eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway I know something doesn't feel right When you're blinded by the headlights Just keep your eyes on the highway Just keep your eyes on the highway
