F

F I was headed north on Highway Five

On a sA♯ tar-lit Sunday night

When a Cpick-up truck flew C7 by me

out of conF trol

As I Fwatched in my headlF7 ights

He swerved A♯ left then back right

He never hCit the brakes C7

As he left F the road

I found him lFying in the gF7 rass

AmA♯ ong the steel and glass

With an Cempty whiskeyC7 bottle

by hisF side

And tFhrough the blood and tF7 ears

He whA♯ ispered in my ear

A fCew last words C7

just before hF e died

FDon't tell F7Mama I was dA♯ rinkin'

Lord kFnows her soul would never Crest C7

I still tF hink about that night

And A♯ how that young man died

And how Cothers sometC7 imes pay

for our mistF akes

The Flast thing on his mF7 ind

As he lA♯ eft this world behind

Was kCnowing someone eC7 lse's

FDon't tell F7Mama I was dA♯ rinkin'
