Don't Tell Mama I Was Drinkin

	  		CAPO I 
 
Verse 1 
      F 
I was headed north on highway 5 
     A# 
On a starlit summer night 
       C                              F 
When a pickup truck flew by me out of control 
     F 
As I watched in my headlights 
           A# 
He swerved left and then back right 
         C                             F 
He never hit the brakes as he left the road 
 
Verse 2 
I found him lying in the grass 
Among the steel and glass 
With an empty whisky bottle by his side 
Through the blood tears 
He whispered in my ear 
A few last words just before he died 
 
Chorus 
F                    A# 
Dont tell mama I was drinkin 
     F                          C 
Lord knows her soul would never rest 
F                                 A# 
I cant leave this world with mama thinkin 
       C                               F 
That I met the lord with whiskey on my breath 
 
Verse3 
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 elses heart would break 
 
Chorus
