The teenagers were driving in the waning light
And were going fast on a turn to the right
The car went into a slide on the dirt track
And it turned over when the wheels lost contact
The teenagers were thrown out of the car
Not wearing seat belts didn't get them very far
They survived the crash but each went to the hospital
You see the one thing that I remember in this road toll
Was telling their parents they needed to leave home
And go to their children needing them and were gone
For every spectacular vehicular crash I have seen
There is anguish and heartache for all that has been.
