A cross by the highway and a plastic bouquet The spot where a young soul was taken that day He was a good kid, that's what they say On the cross by the highway with a plastic bouquet Up through the Crestwynds, speeding for town That's where they found him, thrown out on the ground He held on for hours, suffering in pain By the time he was found, he had suffered in vain A cross by the highway and a plastic bouquet The spot where their mothers have all stopped to pray They'll never forget him, that's what they say By the cross on the highway with a plastic bouquet Where a small four-door car was severed in two Three girls were killed by a boy they all knew Out for a party they'd never attend Pockets with money they never would spend A cross by the highway and a plastic bouquet The spot where their mothers have all stopped to pray They'll never forgive him, that's what they say By the cross on the highway with a plastic bouquet Now, listen, good people, please take my heed For the sake of your mothers, I humbly plead Take care on the road 'cause you could some day Be a cross by the highway with a plastic bouquet
