Well, my baby's gone and left me and my mood is sober and blue
I can't drink or eat, hell I'm dead on my feet but
don't laugh 'cause it could happen to you

Now my buddy, he's got a little problem; seems his rig is folded in two
Yeah the front end is facing back and the trailer has crushed the stack
but don't laugh 'cause it could happen to you

Seems we all have a lot of big problems
When they hit you, you don't know what to do
People think it's a joke when your life's up in smoke
but don't laugh 'cause it could happen to you

I've got a neighbor that does a lot of drinking
he likes to guzzle then he'll sit there and stew
There's a fire in his eyes but he's heard too many lies
but don't laugh 'cause it could happen to you

Seems we all have a lot of big problems
When they hit you, you don't know what to do
People think it's a joke when your life's up in smoke
but don't laugh 'cause it could happen to you

Just don't laugh 'cause it could happen to you
