Letra de Don't Tell Mama I Was Drinking

I was headed north on highway 5 On a starlit Sunday night When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control As I watched in my headlights, He swerved left and then back right Never hit the brakes as he left the road I found him lying in the grass among steel and glass With an empty whiskey bottle by his side Through the blood and tears, he whispered in my ear A few last words just before he died And he said, "Don't tell mama I was drinking Cause Lord knows that her soul would never rest Now I can't leave this world with my mama thinking That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath" I still think about that night And how that young man died And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes Well the last thing on his mind As he left this world behind Was knowing someone else's heart would break And he said, "Don't tell mama I was drinking Cause Lord knows that her soul would never rest Now I can't leave this world with my mama thinking That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath" "Don't tell mama I was drinking Cause Lord knows that her soul would never rest Now I can't leave this world with my mama thinking That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath"
