Don't tell mama I was drinking
That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
As I watched in my headlights, he swerved left and then back right
He never hit the brakes as he left the road
A few last words just before he died
Last thing on his mind as he left this world behind
I can't leave this world with mama thinking
Through the blood and tears, he whispered in my ear
How others sometimes pay for our mistakes
Lord knows her soul would never rest
Was knowing someone else's heart would break
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
I still think about that night, how that young man died
With an empty whiskey bottle by his side
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I found him lying in the grass among the steel and glass
Don't tell mama I was drinking
I can't leave this world with mama thinking
