F#I was headed north on Highway 5 BOn a starlit Sunday night When a pC#ick-up truck flew Bby me out of contF#rol
As I wF#atched in my headlights, He swBerved left
And then back right
Never C#hit the brakes BAs he left the rF#oad
VERSE:
I found him lF#ying in the grass AmBong the steel and glass With an C#empty whiskey bBottle by his sF#ide
And thF#rough the blood and tears, He whBispered in my ear A C#few last words JBust before he dF#ied
CHORUS: And he said,
"DF#on't tell mama I was drBinking Cause Lord kF#nows That her soul would never rC#est
And F#I can't leave this world With my mama thBinking
That I C#met the Lord With whBiskey on my brF#eath"
VERSE:
I sF#till think about that night And hBow that young man died How C#others sometimes pBay For our mF#istakes
Well the lF#ast thing on his mind As he lBeft this world behind Was kC#nowing someone Belse's heart would bF#reak
CHORUS: And he says
"DF#on't tell mama I was drBinking Cause Lord kF#nows That her soul would never rC#est
No, I cF#an't leave this world With my mama thBinking
That I C#met the Lord With whBiskey on my brF#eath"
