I'm eight years daddy's cuttin my hair Aqua Velva on his hands Mama's in the kitchen got fried green tomatoes poppin in the pan I see a home run a goal line holding my breath gettin baptized I see a beautiful face under that veil as she's walking down the Isle (Chorus) I can hear the sirens comming smell the gasoline and smoke I'm pinned against this steering wheel when it's sure my arm is broke I can see the flames and my life flashing right before my eyes I hope they get to me in time I can see the headlights swerve so I cut the wheel to the right Last thing I saw was that bottle turned up as he crossed that center line I see tiny hands brown eyes falling asleep to that lulabye And you slide over next to me as I turned out the lights (chorus) (Bridge) Please lord I'm begging you don't let me go like this There's so much left that I want to do so much I don't want to miss I can see the flames and my life flashing right before my eyes I hope they get to me in time Just get to me in time Please get to me in ------in time --- .
