CAPO I
(VERSE I)
G C
I was headed north on Highway Five on a star-lit, Sunday night
D G
When a pickup truck flew by me out of control
G C
As I watched in my headlights, he swerved left, then back right
D G
He never hit the brakes as he left the road
(VERSE II)
G C
I found him lying in the grass, among the steel and glass
D G
With an empty whiskey bottle by his side
G C
And through the blood and tears, he whispered in my ear
D G
A few last words just before he died
(CHORUS)
G (single strum) C
Don't tell mama I was drinkin'
G D
Lord knows her soul would never rest
G C
And I can't leave this world with mama thinkin'
D G
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
(VERSE III)
G C
I still think about that night and how that young man died
D G
And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes
G C
The last thing on his mind as he left this world behind
D G
Was knowing someone else's heart would break
(CHORUS)
G (single strum) C
Don't tell mama I was drinkin'
G D
Lord knows her soul would never rest
G C
And I can't leave this world with mama thinkin'
D G
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
G (single strum) C (single strum)
Don't tell mama I was drinkin'
