I'm eight years old

Daddy's cuttin' my hair

Aqua Velva on his hands

Momma's in the kitchen

Got fried green tomatoes

Poppin' in the pan

I see a home run a goal line

Holding my friend gettin' baptized

I see her beautiful face under that veil

As she's walking down the aisle

I can hear the sirens comin'

Smell the gasoline and smoke

I'm pinned against this steering wheel

Pretty 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 could 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

Fallin' to sleep to that lullaby

And you slide over next to me

As I turn out the lights

I can hear the sirens comin'

Smell the gasoline and smoke

I'm pinned against this steering wheel

Pretty 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

Please Lord I'm beggin' 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
