A Bend In the Road

There is a bend, I am told Out on the old country road That stretches between this town and the other Somewhere, way out there In the middle of nowhere Is a cross and flowers placed there by her mother A few years ago About ten or so The daughter and mother had a nasty fight About a young man Dating the both of them And the daughter had just learned about it on that night The weather was not so nice Roads were full of snow and ice As the daughter sped off to confront her lover He lived in the other town She should have slowed down At the bend, her young life would soon be over The boy couldn't show his face Left the town in full disgrace The mother places fresh flowers there every day In her sadness and her sorrow She suffers every tomorrow Both of them died that night is what the townsfolk say When you reach a bend in your life From heartbreak or strife Make sure that you don't approach it none too fast Even though you might be hurt'n One thing I know for certain There are no bends worth making them your last
