G C
GI was headed north on highway five/ on a star-lit Sundaynight/ When a pick-up truck D G flew by me out of cControl/ As I watched in my headlights/ He swerved left then back Gright/ He never hit the brakes as he left the Droad/ I found Ghim lying in the grass/ C G Among the steelD and glass/ WGith an empty whiskey bottle by his side/ And through C G the blood Dand tears/ He whisGperd in my ear/ A few last words just before he died/
chorus NC C G
Don't Tell MaDmma I wGas drinkin'/ Lord knows her soul would never rest/ I can't leave C G D this world with GMamma thinkin' / I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
G C G I still think about that night/ and how that young man died/ And how others somtimes D G C
pay for our mistakes/ TGhe last thing on his mind/ As he left this world behind/ Was knowing someone elses heart would bDreak/ (repeat chGorus)
