Lyrics

Daisy-Jane was driving home alone
Driving fast and talking on the phone
She didn?t see the corner that was coming on the rise
And in a moment the chance she had was blown
Sturgeon Lake corner chills my bones


The rig that?s rolling west is full of trees
Jimmy at the wheel is full of speed
The radio was blarin? and old guitar and Waylon
He didn?t see what would bring him to his knees
Sturgeon Lake corner frightens me


Old man Johnson came along the other way
Drinking hard and bitchin? ?bout the day
It?s too bad no one came along to ride with him and keep him calm
And in a moment there?d be nothing he could say
Sturgeon Lake corner made him pay


The rescue team was quickly on the scene
Separating cars and trucks and trees
Daisy-Jane was crying, Jimmy?s legs were not replying
Old man Johnson slipped away and died in peace
Sturgeon Lake corner gets to me


Daisy-Jane ain?t breathing on her own
Jimmy?s in the wheel chair he calls home
The day that I won?t soon forget, the day that old man Johnson
met his maker I was somewhere down the road
Sturgeon Lake corner chills my bones
