FI was headed north on highway five/ on a star-lit Sundaynight/ When a pick-up truck G F flew by me out of cFontrol/ As I watched in my headlights/ He swerved left then back Fright/ He never hit the brakes as he left the Groad/ I found Fhim lying in the grass/ F F Among the steelG and glass/ WFith an empty whiskey bottle by his side/ And through F F the blood Gand tears/ He whisFperd in my ear/ A few last words just before he died/
chorus NC F F
Don't Tell MaGmma I wFas drinkin'/ Lord knows her soul would never rest/ I can't leave F F G this world with FMamma thinkin' / I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
F F F I still think about that night/ and how that young man died/ And how others somtimes G F F
pay for our mistakes/ TFhe last thing on his mind/ As he left this world behind/ Was knowing someone elses heart would bGreak/ (repeat chForus)
