Name of old country song containing lyrics beer wine and whiskey for sale just ahead?

Answer 1

See yonder sign on the highway my friend

Twas near it the crash brought two lives to an end

A boy and his sweetheart stopped near when he read

Beer wine and whiskey for sale just ahead.

Chorus:

The sign on the highway, the scene of the crash

The people pulled over to let the hearse pass

Their bodies were found near the sign board that read

Beer, wine, and whiskey for sale just ahead.

While riding for pleasure that night in his car

They pulled off the highway and drank at the bar,

And joined in the laughter, their spirits so high

Then two hours later the couple had died.

The sign on the highway in colors so bright

Brings back the story of that fatal night

To me it's a warning and all should realize

That death surely rides with the drinker who drives

Somewhere a mother is weeping tonight

The smile of her darling has vanished from sight

It might have been different if the sign had not read

Beer, wine, and whiskey for sale just ahead
