We only hit and run
He used to be our victim
Now you’re not the only one

‘Cause I know what I have done

I was cruising in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag
I said, “You’re on, buddy, my mills runnin’ fine
Let’s come off the line now, at Sunset and Vine
But I’ll go you one better if you’ve got the nerve
Let’s race all the way
To Dead Man’s Curve”

- “Dead Man’s Curve” by Jan and Dean

In a fast german car
I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye.
The tears were beginning to show.
As he drove away on that rainy night,
I begged him to go slow.
But whether he heard, I'll never know.
(No no no no no no no)
Look out, look out, look out, look out!

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we've been through
In school, they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears but I don't care
I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack
(Gone) The leader of the pack, now he's gone

- “Leader of the Pack” by the Shangri-Las

An ambulance finally came and took him to Riverside
I watched as they drove him away
And I thought of a girlfriend or a young wife
And a state trooper knocking in the middle of the night
To say your baby died in a wreck on the highway

Sometimes I sit up in the darkness
And I watch my baby as she sleeps
Then I climb in bed and I hold her tight
I just lay there awake in the middle of the night
Thinking 'bout the wreck on the highway

- “Wreck On The Highway” by Bruce Springsteen
