Which version you listening to there? 
this is the one i am familiar with 

“He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle,
Scalded to death by steam."

If it wasn’t for Allison Krause , that would have been a terrific song.

The Hee Haw parody version:

"He was goin down the road a makin 90 miles an hour,

When the chain on his bicycle broke.

He was skinned all over by the rocks and the gravel,

And punctured to death by the spoke!"

A little different style

 

"Torn like an old dollar bill"

Mark Lanegan, screaming trees, dollar bill

Sadly we lost Mark last week

@junkandcattle
I cant stand anyone who breaths the lyrics rather than sing them.

The beautiful thing about art is that it’s all subjective. I not only disagree with you, but I feel her voice is what really makes that song. But neither of us is wrong, because it’s all opinions.

Like her style, but the voice makes my skin crawl.

Be better off, in a pine box, on a freight train back to Georgia.(I think)  There’s one I have not heard, or even that man’s name in a long time. He was cool. Seems like it was him, Randy Travis, Travis Trit, Marty Stewart, at about the same time frame, And they were all grossly overshadowed by like Garth brooks and Clint black and George strait.

She was an A-1 certified dancin' fool, she was way too cool for Sunday school, she had an '85 Nova and a rose tatoo, and when you got her alone she knew what to do - that girl's got an artificial heart...

January's always been bitter

But , Lord, this one beats all

The wind ain't quit for weeks now

and the drifts are ten feet tall

I've been all night drivin'  heifers

Close in to lower ground

then I spent the morning thinkin'

about the ones the wolves pulled down......

One of Garth's best....to my ear !!

All right all right all right now. 

Humble pie, 30 days in the hole

Not the best opening line and I don't support the life style but the song gets me going everytime I hear it.
