0:05I was headed north on highway five
0:11One star lit Sunday night
0:16When a pickup truck flew by me out of control
0:27As I watched in my headlights
0:32He swerved left and then back right
0:38He never hit the brakes as he left the road
0:48I found him lying in the grass
0:54Among the steel and glass
1:00With an empty whiskey bottle by his side
1:11Through the blood and tears
1:16He whispered in my ear
1:22A few last words just before he died
1:33Don't tell mama I was drinking
1:43Lord knows her soul would never rest
1:55I can't leave this world with mama thinking
2:05That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
2:27I still think about that night
2:33How that young man died
2:38How others sometimes pay for our mistakes
2:49Last thing on his mind
2:54As he left this world behind
3:00Was knowing someone else's heart would break
3:11Don't tell mama I was drinking
3:21Lord knows her soul would never rest
3:33I can't leave this world with mama thinking
3:43I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
3:55Don't tell mama I was drinking
I was headed north on highway five One star lit Sunday night When a pickup truck flew by me out of control As I watched in my headlights He swerved left and 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 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 That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath I still think about that night How that young man died How others sometimes pay for our mistakes Last thing on his mind As he left this world behind Was knowing someone else's heart would break 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 Don't tell mama I was drinking
