Words & Music by Donna Hughes
Lyrics:
Where are all these people going?
Up & down the road, up & down the road
Flying like it’s life or death
Everywhere they go, everywhere they go
Martha’s late for her garden party
She forgot her hat & so she went back home
She got her favorite hat, and wrecked her car speeding
Now there's a cross on the side of the road
Noah borrowed Daddy’s old Camaro
He picked up a friend, now they’re fast as they can go
Noah wrapped his Daddy’s car around a tree
Now there’s 2 more crosses on the side of the road
There’s no promise of tomorrow
Someone’s cryin' on the shoulder of the road
No one’s thinking of tomorrow
When they place another cross on the side of the road
Sarah’s late for work, she’s up for a promotion
Rising to the top, where she’s destined to go
She had to hit that alarm just one more time
Another cross on the side of the road
Billy’s leaving the bar, one too many now he’s headed home
He hit family with his car, now that's 5 more crosses on the side of the road
Ellie’s texting on her phone, 80 miles an hour looking at a post
She hit a Momma & her son, now that's 3 more crosses on the side of the road
There’s no promise of tomorrow
Someone’s cryin on the shoulder of the road
No one’s thinking of tomorrow
When they plant another cross on the side of the road
All the praying on the side of the road
All the crosses on the side of the road
Another cross with solar lights & flowers, on the side of the road
