Don't Tell Mamma-(Gary Allan) 
 
G                                                          C                   
G 
I was headed north on highway five/ on a star-lit Sundaynight/ When a pick-up  
truck 
                          D         G                                          
                   C 
flew by me out of control/ As I watched in my headlights/ He swerved left  
then back 
G                                             D             G 
right/ He never hit the brakes as he left the road/ I found him lying in the  
grass/ 
                  C            G                                               
                D            G  
 Among the steel and glass/ With an empty whiskey bottle by his side/ And  
through 
                                    C                    G                     
          D                 G 
the blood and tears/ He whisperd in my ear/ A few last words just before he  
died/ 
 
chorus 
 
NC                                C          G                                 
             D      G 
Don't Tell Mamma I was drinkin'/ Lord knows her soul would never rest/ I  
can't leave 
                           C                   G                         D     
                G 
this world with Mamma thinkin' / I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath 
 
G                                            C                             G   
    
I still think about that night/ and how that young man died/ And how others  
somtimes 
                  D             G                             C                
                        G 
 pay for our mistakes/ The last thing on his mind/ As he left this world  
behind/ Was 
                                   D                 G 
knowing someone elses heart would break/   (repeat chorus)
