belltolls1984 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 There is a song out there, kind of a pop song, it is about a family that went into the woods on a trip and got abducted or lost, or had a car crash, I am not sure, I heard it on the radio at work, I would really like to know what it is and who it is by, I know nothing about it other than what it is about, it was popular when it came out, kind of an upbeat song about that subject, I think it came out in the mid 90s, I hope you all can figure out what the name of it is and who sang it, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 That sounds suspiciously like Pearl Jam's remake of "Last Kiss". I realize you said 'family', "Daddy's car" is mentioned and that is what leads me to the conclusion. Here are the lyrics... Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me. She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good, So I can see my baby when I leave this world. We were out on a date in my daddy's car, we hadn't driven very far. There in the road, straight ahead, a car was stalled, the engine was dead. I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right. I'll never forget, the sound that night-- the screamin tires, the bustin glass, the painful scream that I-- heard last. Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me. She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good, So I can see my baby when I leave this world. When I woke up, the rain was pourin down. There were people standin all around. Somethin warm flowin through my eyes, but somehow I found my baby that night. I lifted her head, she looked at me and said, "Hold me darlin just a little while." I held her close, I kissed her--our last kiss. I found the love that i knew i had missed well now she's gone, even though I hold her tight I lost my love, my life-- that night. Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me. She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good, So I can see my baby when I leave this world. Hope that helped, Ken.

belltolls1984 Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thanks Ken, although that's not it, it does sound like it though, but no, its a later pop kind of song, i heard that the story it is about was a true one, about either a family or a group of people going on some kind of trip and they never made it back, this is seriously bugging me, i just can't figure out what it is. It has a pop kind of beat to it and is a fast song, not rock at all I don't think. Thanks though, I appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I think this might be it...hope it helps... :: The Way by Fastball (various radio commercial, song clips) They made up their minds And they started packing They left before the sun came up that day An exit to eternal summer slacking But where were they going without ever Knowing the way They drank up the wine And they got to talking They now had more important things to say And when the car broke down they started walking Where were they going without ever Knowing the way Anyone can see the road that they walk on Is paved in gold It's always summer They'll never get cold They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and grey You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere They won't make it home But they really don't care They wanted the highway They're happier there today Their children woke up And they couldn't find them They left before the sun came up that day They just drove off and left it all behind 'em But where were they going without ever Knowing the way Anyone can see the road that they walk on Is paved in gold It's always summer They'll never get cold They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and grey You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere They won't make it home But they really don't care They wanted the highway They're happier there today Today Anyone can see the road that they walk on Is paved in gold It's always summer They'll never get cold They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and grey You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere They won't make it home But they really don't care They wanted the highway They're happier there today Today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
