The Drunken Driver Letra

Friends, there's something been haunting me And I just got to tell you about it I saw an accident one day, that would chill the heart of any man And teach them not to drink a drop, while the steering wheel's in their hand. This awfull accident occurred on the 20th day of May, And caused two dear little children to be sleeping beneath the clay, These two little kids walked side by side along the state highway Their poor old mother, she had died, and their daddy had run away As these two little kids walked arm in arm how sad their hearts did feel When around the curb came a speeding car, with a drunk man at the wheel The drunk man saw the two little kids, and he hollered a drunken sound "Get out of the road you little fools", and the car, it brought them down. The bumper struck the little girl, taking her life away, While the little boy, in a puddle of blood, in the ditch, lying there did lay. The drunk man staggered from his car to see the damage that he had done And he let out a yell you could hear for miles, when he recognized his dying son. Such mourning from a drunken man, I've never heard before While kneeling at the running board, he prayed to heavens door Saying, "Oh God, please forgive me for this awful crime I've done" And his attention then was called away by the words of his dying son And he said, "Daddy, why did you do this to us? how come you run us to the ground? It was you and Mummy we was talking about, when the car, it brought us down, And I was just telling little sister, that I knew we'd see you again someday But, Daddy, why did it have to be like this? why did it have to be this way? Why Daddy,....Why?
