Chords

D
I was headed north on highway five

        G
on a star-lit Sunday night

           A                              D
When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control

             D
As I watched in my headlights

             G
He swerved left then back right

           A                            D
He never hit the brakes as he left the road

              D
I found him lying in the grass

 G
Among the steel and glass

          A                          D
With an empty whiskey bottle by his side

            D
And through The blood and tears

       G
He whispered in my ear

      A                          D
A few last words just before he died
Chorus
  N.C.       D7             G
Don't Tell Mama I was drinkin'

D                                A
Lord knows her soul would never rest

D                                      G
I can't leave this world with Mamma thinkin'

   A                                D
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath

 D
I still think about that night

     G
and how that young man died

          A                            D
And how others somtimes pay for our mistakes

            D
The last thing on his mind

        G
As he left this world behind

       A                                D
Was knowing someone else's heart would break
(repeat chorus) TAG
D           D7          G
Don't tell mama I was drinkin
