Where His Wheels Left The Road Lyrics - Singles - Alecia Nugent

Where his wheels left the road, broken glass and twisted steel 

Were the only traces left of that worn out Oldsmobile 

Oh, the mist hung on that mountain like a winter overcoat 

And the Deputies found him where his wheels left the road 

He had left the Diamond Horeshoe, drank that whiskey river dry 

That's the tale the Sheriff told to his sister and his wife 

They could claim their Dear Beloved at the White Oak Funeral Home 

And the Deputy could show them where the wheels left the road 

Now they're bring food and flowers to the kitchen of his home 

They placed a little cross where his wheels left the road 

But the truth will soon be buried, there's a secret no one knows 

He was not out on that highway when his wheels left the road 

It was back in that old bar room in the smoke and neon lights 

He was dancing with a woman just before he crossed the line 

In a room next to the Horseshoe, wedding ring down in his coat 

He took her in his arms and his wheels left the road
