Drive Safely Darlin by Tony Christie Lyrics

Outside a storm was blowin'
And the rain was whippin' down
But she'd set her mind on going
To visit out of town
Give my love to your mum and dad I said
As i kissed her at the door
And the words came automatically
Like a thousand times before
Drive safely darlin'
There's a long long road ahead
And the weatherman says the freezing rain may turn to snow
Mind how you go
Drive safely darlin'
Mind how you go
Drive safely darlin'

It was kinda 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 said me a little prayer
Drive safely darlin'
There's a long long road ahead
And the weatherman says the freezing rain may turn to snow
Mind how you go
Drive safely darlin'
Mind how you go
Drive safely darlin'
Well I waited and I worried
As the long night dragged on by
And I thought my prayers where answered
When a car drew 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 darlin'
That was our last goodbye
Till the day I die I'll wonder why I let her go
In the wind and snow
Drive safely darlin'
I'll never know
Drive safely darlin'
I miss her so
Drive safely darlin'
I'll never know
