F (133211@1)FI (133211@1)was headed north on Highway Five
      BbOn (x1333x@1)a star-lit Sunday night
       C (x32010@1)                C7When (x32310@1)a pick-up truck flew by me
          Fout (133211@1)of control

F (133211@1)                F7As (131241@1)I watched in my headlights
           BbHe (x1333x@1)swerved left then back right
          C (x32010@1)            C7He (x32310@1)never hit the brakes
           FAs (133211@1)he left the road

F (133211@1)          F7 (131241@1)I found him lying in the grass
  BbAmong (x1333x@1)the steel and glass
        C (x32010@1)          C7With (x32310@1)an empty whiskey bottle
      Fby (133211@1)his side

F (133211@1)                   F7And (131241@1)through the blood and tears
     BbHe (x1333x@1)whispered in my ear
   C (x32010@1)             C7A (x32310@1)few last words
             Fjust (133211@1)before he died

F (133211@1)        F7 (131241@1)        Bb (x1333x@1)
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
      F (133211@1)                       C (x32010@1)   C7Lord (x32310@1)knows her soul would never rest
F (133211@1)              F7 (131241@1)           Bb (x1333x@1) 
I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'

I met the Lord  with whiskey on my breath

C (x32010@1) F (133211@1)F (133211@1)              
I still think about that night
    BbAnd (x1333x@1)how that young man died
        C (x32010@1)         C7And (x32310@1)how others sometimes pay
            Ffor (133211@1)our mistakes

F (133211@1)                F7The (131241@1)last thing on his mind
       Bb (x1333x@1)As he left this world behind
     C (x32010@1)             C7Was (x32310@1)knowing someone else's
             Fheart (133211@1)would break

F (133211@1)        F7 (131241@1)         Bb (x1333x@1)
