A Tombstone Every Mile

"A Tombstone Every Mile" is a song written by Dan Fulkerson and recorded by American country music artist Dick Curless.

[1] The song refers to the "Haynesville Woods", an area around the small town of Haynesville in Aroostook County in northern Maine noted for many automobile crashes.

[2] Truck drivers would ship potatoes to market in Boston and a dangerous hairpin turn in the route through Haynesville was the inspiration for the song.

[2] Bill Kirchen recorded the song in 1994 and made it the title track of his album, Tombstone Every Mile.

He also sang on a live version of the track on Nick Lowe's 2004 album, Untouched Takeaway.
