(VERSE I)

I was ^Gheaded north on Highway Five on a ^Cstar-lit, Sunday night When a ^Dpickup truck flew by me out of co^Gntrol

As I ^Gwatched in my headlights, he swerved ^Cleft, then back right He never ^Dhit the brakes as he left the r^Goad

(VERSE II)

I found him ^Glying in the grass, ^Camong the steel and glass With an ^Dempty whiskey bottle by his ^Gside

And ^Gthrough the blood and tears, he ^Cwhispered in my ear A ^Dfew last words just before he ^Gdied

(CHORUS) G (single strum) C Don't tell mama I was drinkin'

Lord ^Gknows her soul would never ^Drest And ^GI can't leave this world with mama ^Cthinkin'

I ^Dmet the Lord with whiskey on my ^Gbreath

(VERSE III)

I still ^Gthink about that night and ^Chow that young man died And how ^Dothers sometimes pay for our ^Gmistakes

The ^Glast thing on his mind as he ^Cleft this world behind Was ^Dknowing someone else's heart would ^Gbreak

(CHORUS) G (single strum) C Don't tell mama I was drinkin'

Lord ^Gknows her soul would never ^Drest And ^GI can't leave this world with mama ^Cthinkin'

I ^Dmet the Lord with whiskey on my ^Gbreath G (single strum) C (single strum) Don't tell mama I was drinkin'
