Don't Tell Mama (I Was Drinking) - Philomena Begley[00:00:00]
I was headed north on[00:00:04]
Highway Five[00:00:07]
On a star lit Sunday night[00:00:09]
When a pick up truck flew by me[00:00:13]
Out of control[00:00:17]
As I watched in my headlights[00:00:21]
He swerved left then back right[00:00:26]
He never hit the brakes[00:00:30]
As he left the road[00:00:34]
I found him lying in the grass[00:00:39]
Among the steel and glass[00:00:44]
With an empty whiskey bottle by his side[00:00:48]
And through the blood and tears[00:00:57]
He whispered in my ear[00:01:02]
A few last words just before he died[00:01:06]
Don't tell Mama I was drinking[00:01:15]
Lord knows her soul would never rest[00:01:24]
I can't leave this world with Mama thinking[00:01:33]
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath[00:01:42]
I still think about that night[00:01:59]
And how that young man died[00:02:04]
And how others sometimes pay[00:02:08]
For our mistakes[00:02:12]
The last thing on his mind[00:02:17]
As he left this world behind[00:02:22]
Was knowing someone else's heart would break[00:02:26]
Don't tell Mama I was drinking[00:02:36]
Lord knows her soul would never rest[00:02:44]
I can't leave this world with Mama thinking[00:02:53]
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath[00:03:02]
Don't tell Mama I was drinking[00:03:11]
