Lyrics

Aaron woke up early one November morn a headed down a long road
I wasn?t there that winter day but I?ve heard the story told

And a little past Helmet a hill with a hairpin turn
That came from out of no where begging him to learn
About the sliding tires and the muddy roads
In the middle of the bush and miles from home, and there was nothing he could do
So he grabbed on tight to the wheel and he trembled inside
And every thought he had was keeping him alive
He thought about love and he thought about pain
And he wondered if he?d ever she him Charlotte again, and there was nothing he could do

Don?t be thinking ?bout tomorrow when you?ve done all that you can
Aaron slid down Peggo Hill a boy and crawled back up a man

He stood in the ditch and he wondered what to do now
Took a deep breath and a long look around
Made a call on an old bag phone
Said I went for ride but the rig didn?t roll, is there something you can do
So he hitched a ride to the place where he met this guy
Who put him in a chopper and took him for a ride
Out to the place that?s out of the way
He said it?s OK to visit but I wouldn?t wanna stay, just had a few things to do

Don?t be thinking ?bout tomorrow when you?ve done all that you can
Aaron slid down Peggo Hill a boy and crawled back up a man

The Aaron went back to the scene of the wreck in the trees
At the bottom of the bank where the cold wind screams
Where he hooked on tight to a five tow rope chain
And blew the windows out of that smashed in frame, and there was nothing he could do
But the rig still fired up quick so Aaron hit the road
Following the flare stacks all the way home
Where he had himself beer and he had one more
And the ten he drank next nearly put him on the floor, and laugh was all that he could do

Don?t be thinking ?bout tomorrow when you should have had a plan
Aaron slid down Peggo Hill a boy and crawled back up a man
