Lyrics:
She was just 18 years old
Had a pretty face and a heart of gold
Everyone said she had such a good road waiting ahead
How could they ever know
It would be this wrong

It was just a message from her brother
Texted from far, far away
That took her eyes off the road for one second
And now a gravestone marks where she lays
And though she's not here with us
I can almost here her say
"Don't follow the road I have taken,
Oh, please don't look away"

He had just turned 23
Had a pretty wife, starting a family
Everyone said he was doing so well, he was getting ahead
How could they ever know
It would be this wrong

It was just a phone call from his wife
She was only 2 months away
From giving birth to his little boy Johnny
But they couldn't find his body till the next day
And though he's not here with us
I think I know what he would say:
"Don't follow the road I have taken,
Oh, please don't look away."

She was someone's sister
He was someone's father
They were people we all knew
But the reason I tell you these stories
Is so the same doesn't happen to you
Your life is a gift far too precious
To be squandered and wasted this way
So hear what their lives are all saying,
"Oh, please don't look away."
