[00:05.04]I was headed north on highway five
[00:10.11]On a star-lit Sunday night
[00:15.09]When a pickup truck flew by me
[00:19.83]Out of control
[00:24.99]As I watched in my headlights
[00:30.36]He swerved left then back right
[00:35.33]He never hit the brakes
[00:38.22]As he left the road
[00:44.92]I found him lying in the grass
[00:50.59]Among the steel and glass
[00:55.38]With an empty whiskey bottle by his side
[01:03.46]🎵
[01:05.55]Through the blood and tears
[01:10.64]He whispered in my ear
[01:15.72]A few last words just before he died
[01:25.56]Don't tell mama I was drinkin'
[01:35.61]Lord knows her soul would never rest
[01:43.46]🎵
[01:45.88]And I can't leave this world
[01:51.07]With mama thinkin'
[01:56.59]I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
[02:05.42]🎵
[02:16.44]I still think about that night
[02:21.48]And how that young man died
[02:26.32]And how others sometimes pay
[02:31.06]For our mistakes
[02:36.66]The last thing on his mind
[02:41.62]As he left this world behind
[02:46.95]Was knowing someone else's heart would break
[02:56.56]Don't tell mama I was drinkin'
[03:06.94]Lord knows her soul would never rest
[03:14.97]🎵
[03:16.98]I can't leave this world
[03:22.04]With mama thinkin'
[03:27.29]I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
[03:35.15]🎵
[03:37.52]Don't tell mama I was drinkin'
[03:46.90]🎵
