Ty Herndon - Don't Tell Mama lyrics

(Jerry Laseter/Buddy Brock/Kim Williams) I Was Headed Noth On Highway Five, One Star Lit Sunday Night When A Pickup Truck Flew By Me Out Of Control As I Watched In My Headlights He Swerved Left And Then Back Right He Never Hit The Brakes As He Left The Road I Found Him Lying In The Gra** Among The Steel And Gla** 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 Don't Tell MaMa I Was Drinking Lord Knows Her Soul Would Never Rest I Can't Leave This World With MaMa Thinking 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 The Last Thing On His Mind As He Left This World Behind Was Knowing Someone Else's Heart Would Break Don't Tell MaMa I Was Drinking Lord Knows Her Soul Would Never Rest I Can't Leave This World With Mama Thinking I Met The Lord With Whiskey On My Breath
