Ty Herndon - Don't Tell Mama

      
 
 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
