Don't Tell Mama |
I was headed north on Highway Five |
On a star-lit Sunday night |
When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control |
As I watched in my headlights |
He swerved left then back right |
He never hit the brakes |
As he left the road |
I found him lying in the grass |
Among the steel and glass |
With an empty whiskey bottle by his side |
And through the blood and tears |
He whispered in my ear |
A few last words just before he died |
Don’t tell Mama I was drinking |
Lord knows her soul would never rest |
I can’t leave this world with Mama thinking |
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath |
I still think about that night |
And how that young man died |
And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes |
The last thing on his mind |
As he left this world behind |
Was knowing someone else’s heart would break |
