Yikes, Joe, it's like you pulled the cork out of the dike... so what'll it hurt to add one more.

Growing up in L.A. with family up north we had numerous occasions to travel on Hwy 99. In the cold season there was sometimes thick fog. Kinda scary to be unable to see ~anything~ beyond the hood of the car, everybody creeping along about 10 mph except the occasional car bowling along at normal speed. So, I put together this:

Wreck in the Fog
Woody Brison 2025

Up old Highway 99
On a sunny day the drive's just fine
On a foggy day it's worth your life
Be careful sonny how you drive

The fog's as thick as mama's soup
You can't see anything worth a hoot
You can't see the ornament on the hood
Be careful people and drive real good

Even if you drive real slow
There'll be some fool who doesn't know
He won't see a thing until he's hit it
Lord have mercy on them drivin' in it

Up old Highway 99
On a sunny day the drive's just fine
On a foggy day it's worth your life
Be careful sonny how you drive

Tom Duval was going real slow
Feeling his way you'd almost say
But not everybody was that wise
Fools should not be allowed to drive

Sam was the man you know the one
He came bowlin' along like he always done
And smacked Tom's car like a billiard ball
And into the ditch went Tom Duval

Up old Highway 99
On a sunny day the drive's just fine
On a foggy day it's worth your life
Be careful sonny how you drive

Then Mrs. Crowley slammed in fast
Then two or three others added to the mass
Along came a Freightliner doin' fifty five
Who taught that idiot how to drive

Now farmer Frank he heard the noise
And he dialed up the Highway Patrol
Highway Patrol dispatched some boys
By the time they arrived there were fifty cars all told

Up old Highway 99
On a sunny day the drive's just fine
On a foggy day it's worth your life
Be careful sonny how you drive


Still workin' on a tune for it.
