Left Hand Turn

Left Hand Turn

You took a left hand turn
From the right hand lane
It was a ten car pile up
Then you fled the scene

My skin was tanned and the trees were green
I thought we were pulling over at the Dairy Queen
The sky got dim when the light changed
Your face went cold and the air felt strange

You took a left hand turn
From the right hand lane
It was a ten car pile up
Then you fled the scene
I called for help
but no one came
You took a left hand turn
From the right hand lane

This happened before when I was small
Back seat, a candy apple and a favorite doll
Mom looked happy and so did Dad
But then the doll fell out the window
and the apple went bad

They took a left hand turn
From the right hand lane
It was a ten car pile up
Who's to blame
Those vows were burned
in the family name
They took a left hand turn
From the right hand lane

It doesn't matter where you want to go
Or how you feel
You got no control
When you're not behind the wheel

I brushed away the wreckage
Came out alive
Bought my own car
and learned to drive
and anyone who comes along for the ride
Better fasten his seatbelt and hold on tight
Cause I just might

Take a left hand turn
From the right hand lane
Cause a ten car pile up
But I'll feel no pain
Blood on my shirt
Will just wash away
I'll take a left hand turn
From the right hand lane
