G I was headed north on highway five/ on a star-lit Sundaynight/ When a pick-up
truck
flew by me out of c C ontrol/ As I watched in my headlights/ He swerved left
then back
G right/ He never hit the brakes as he left the D road/ I found G him lying in the
grass/
Among the steel D and glass/ W G ith an empty whiskey bottle by his side/ And
through
the blood D and tears/ He whis G perd in my ear/ A few last words just before he
died/
chorus
NC C G
Don't Tell Ma D mma I w G as drinkin'/ Lord knows her soul would never rest/ I
can't leave
this world with G Mamma 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
pay for our mistakes/ T G he last thing on his mind/ As he left this world
behind/ Was
knowing someone elses heart would b D reak/ (repeat ch G orus)
