Don't Tell Mama Ty Herndon
CAPO I
Verse 1
I was [F]headed north on highway 5
On a [A#]starlit summer night
When a [C]pickup truck flew by me out of [F]control
As I [F]watched in my headlights
He swerved [A#]left and then back right
He never [C]hit the brakes as he left the [F]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]Dont tell mama I was [A#]drinkin
Lord [F]knows her soul would never [C]rest
[F]I cant leave this world with mama [A#]thinkin
That I [C]met the lord with whiskey on my [F]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
