Don't Tell Mama Lyrics
I was headed north on Highway FiveOn a star-lit Sunday night
When a pick-up truck flew by me out of controlAs I watched in my headlights
He swerved left then back rightHe never hit the brakesAs he left the road
I found him lying in the grassAmong the steel and glass
With an empty whiskey bottle by his sideAnd through the blood and tears
He whispered in my earA few last words just before he died
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'Lord knows her soul would never rest
I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breathI still think about that night
And how that young man diedAnd how others sometimes pay for our mistakes
The last thing on his mindAs he left this world behind
Was knowing someone else's heart would breakDon't tell Mama I was drinkin'
Lord knows her soul would never restI can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breathDon't tell Mama I was drinkin'
When a pick-up truck flew by me out of controlAs I watched in my headlights
He swerved left then back rightHe never hit the brakesAs he left the road
I found him lying in the grassAmong the steel and glass
With an empty whiskey bottle by his sideAnd through the blood and tears
He whispered in my earA few last words just before he died
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'Lord knows her soul would never rest
I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breathI still think about that night
And how that young man diedAnd how others sometimes pay for our mistakes
The last thing on his mindAs he left this world behind
Was knowing someone else's heart would breakDon't tell Mama I was drinkin'
Lord knows her soul would never restI can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breathDon't tell Mama I was drinkin'

this song is a warning to all. Drinking and driving hurts more than just you
