Crash - The Primitives

Here you go way too fast

Don’t slow down, you gonna crash

You should watch, watch your step

Don’t lookout, gonna break your neck

(thanks to Jonathon for the track)

Theme: CAR WRECKS

I’m sittin’ at a bar on the inside
Waitin’ for my ride on the outside

So I jacked the keys to her fuckin’ car
Crashed that piece of shit and then stepped away

Track: Burma Shave
Album: Foreign Affairs
Year: 1977
Theme: CAR WRECKS

Why don’t you have another swig and pass that car if you’re so brave
I wanna get there before the sun comes up in Burma Shave

And the spider web crack and the mustang screamed
The smoke from the tires and the twisted machine
Just a nickel’s worth of dreams and every wishbone that they saved
Lie swindled from them on the way to Burma Shave

And the sun hit the derrick and cast a bat wing shadow
Up against the car door on the shotgun side
And when they pulled her from the wreck
You know she still had on her shades
They say that dreams are growing wild
Just this side
Of Burma Shave

Porter Wagoner - Carroll County Accident

The wreck was on the highway just outside the line,
Walter Browning lost his life and for a time
It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die,
But she lived long enough for her to testify.

Mary Ellen testified that he flagged her down,
Said he was sick and could she drive him into town,
No one ever doubted what she said was true,
'Cause she was well respected in the county too.

I went down to see the wreck like all the rest,
The broken glass the bloody seats the tangled mess,
But I found something no one else had ever seen,
Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine.

A little match box circled by a rubber band,
And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand,
It took awhile to figure out just what it meant,
The truth about the Carroll County accident.

Transfusion - Nervous Norvus (1956)

Nevernevernever gonna speed again…

One of the few songs I know that chronicles more than 4 car wrecks in it.

First heard this on the fantastic K-TEL ‘Looney Tunes’ compilation. Also the only song that made me 100% certain as a kid that I would never drink and drive.

Slip the blood to me bud…
