lyrics

There are places on the highway
Better watch out as you go
There are people not forgotten
Who have given their life on the road

There’s an exit in Pennsylvania
Off I-state 95
With a sharp curve round The Smokies
One mistake will take you alive

There’s a stop light on the train tracks
Where seven children died
Didn’t hear the warning, they never saw it
But they should not have had to die

Some spots are famous for their unsafeness
Some are little known stretches of the road
Why don’t they fix them why don’t they warn folks
Of the danger ahead before you go
