Rear View Mirror Blues (2023 Remaster)

I saw a fatal collision, blood and glass on the road
A fatal collision, blood and glass on the road
Well, that time, baby, my heart just up and froze
And in my rear-view mirror, a thousand stories been told

She said, "Be gone in the morning before the rooster crows"
She said, "Be gone in the morning before the rooster crows"
She found another fella; I guess I shoulda known
And in my rear-view mirror, a thousand stories been told

When I was young and able, I took off down the road
Yeah, when I was young and able, I took off down the road
You know I laid all my troubles on my travelin' bone
And in my rear-view mirror, a thousand stories been told

I had to get back to Texas; I drove from Ohio
I had to get back to Texas; I had enough of Ohio
They say you can't run forever, and they're right, I suppose
And in my rear-view mirror, a thousand stories been told

Well, I was going over 80 when I saw those red lights glow
Yeah, I was going over 80 when I saw those red lights glow
I thought about pulling over, then put my foot to the floor
And in my rear-view mirror, a thousand stories been told
