Got in the car
Didn't get far
Before the drugs kicked in
What a truly wicked sin
Didn't see him until too late
That accident sealed my fate
Paralyzed with fear
From death so near
Really bad decision
Of such indecision
Caused me to flee
Couldn't let it be
Kissed the wife and baby
Said bye to family
Went to jail guilty
Of stupidity
Jail time
Stole my time
For such a stupid crime
Ran out of precious time
Spent long days and nights crying
Instead of loving laughing
All the pain all the suffering
Family time gone depressing
Lots of praying day and night
To help let me see the light
Praying for the victim's speedy recovery
And for my soul to once again be set free
Thanking God for His comfort for His loving
Serving Him and mankind shall be my blessing
Praying to always be strong always be kind
Seeing His love and forgiveness in my mind
