In the Curve Songtext
von The Avett Brothers

i′ve never taken this curve
driving this fast before
a glowing stop sign
and both lanes are mine
no seatbelts attatched to my door

well my speed meter dont work
so i'm gonna guess 95
maybe i′ll fix it
and maybe i wont
it depends on my being alive

well my bottle of bourbon is gone
it flew away all by itself
if ever you find it
my photo behind it
in memory of me on your shelf


well it's been raining all day
and it's been raining all night
a slip and slide highway
and i′m going sideways
i′m loose
but my steering wheel's tight

My 63 ford is a bull
she′s four thousand pounds at least
but metal surrenders
when oak trees meet fenders
and engines go throuh the front seats

well i lost control in the curve
and a gas line broke in the wreck
i walked from the ashes
with just a few scratches
my crusifix warm on my neck

Well my good lord was with me tonight
just riding beside me tonight
and now we're just talking
just hitchhiking walking
we′ll see you in concord tonight

and now we're just walking
just hitchhiking talking
we′ll see you in concord tonight
