Verse 1

Drunk and insane I was driving in vain

To some nowhere that seemed to be near

Ashamed of my past I stomped on the gas

 And swallowed a swig of my beer

No cars in sight on this black dreary night

 I accepted my darkest of shames

 To end my existence on this path was fittest

 To crash and to burn into flames

Verse 2

Go into the mystic another statistic

Impaired or asleep at the wheel

For sure it was vital to mask suicidal

The truth never to be revealed

The tears of my family and all of their scrambling

To hide such a delicate truth

He dodged for a deer or just had to much beer

Never meaning to snuff out his youth

Instrumental

Verse 3

I corrected a swerve as I rounded a curve

Near a thicket of pines on the side

Let go of control as the vehicle rolled

On the gravel and into a slide

A barbed wire fence had no good intents

To help save this poor wretched life

When I splintered that tree I had to believe

I was still doing near sixty-five

Chorus

I die tonight

I die tonight

I die tonight

I die tonight

I die tonight

I die tonight

I die tonight

I die tonight

I die tonight

Verse 4

The steering wheel pressed itself to my chest

My head smacked hard at the glass

The smell of the sap was well overlapped

With the beer and the blood and the gas

Awake for a second enough that I reckoned

That this plan was incredibly flawed

The pain was intense I was wholly convinced

I was almost dead like it or not

Verse 5

And like it I didn't for if just that minute

I'd have again to replace

I'd make it all different and not be so ignorant

To the grave consequences I faced

But I faced them alone as the meat on my bones

Poured out all the life they had left

It filled up the ashtrays I slumped over sideways

And gasped my last booze laden breath
