CROWD GATHERED
'ROUND A SCHOOL
BUS THIRD STREET
AND ELM
THE NEIGHBOR
MAN SAID OFFICER
I CAUGHT IT ALL
ON FILM
I WATCHED MY
LITTLE GRANDSON
COME SO CLOSE
TO DEATH
BY THAT MAN
STANDIN' RIGHT
THERE WITH LIQUOR
ON HIS BREATH
ANOTHER LITTLE
BOY WASN'T SO LUCKY
HE WAS LYIN' THERE
IN THE STREET
HIS LITTLE
LIFELESS BODY
BENEATH THE
YELLOW SHEET
WHILE THE
YOUNG MAN WAS
ON THE SIDEWALK
GOIN' THROUGH A
SOBRIETY CHECK
THE CROWD
WAS TURNIN' INTO
A LYNCH MOB
WHEN HE RAISED UP
HIS HANDS AND SAID
I ONLY HAD JUST ONE
I SWEAR THAT'S
THE TRUTH
THAT KID CAME
OUT OF NOWHERE
THERE WAS NOTHIN'
I COULD DO
I COULDN'T SWERVE
I COULDN'T STOP
NOW HERE I AM
ASKIN' GOD
WHAT HAVE I DONE
I ONLY HAD JUST ONE
A YOUNG MAMA
BURST THROUGH
THE CROWD
PULLED BACK THAT
YELLOW SHEET
COLLAPSED AND
STARTED SHAKIN'
UNCONTROLLABLY
SEARCHED UNTIL
SHE FOUND THAT
YOUNG MAN WITH HER
SHATTERED EYES
THEN TORE A HOLE
INTO HIS SOUL
AS SHE SCREAMED
AND CRIED
I ONLY HAD JUST ONE
AND YOU TOOK HIM
AWAY
I HOPE THIS IS
SOMETHIN' YOU
RELIVE EVERY DAY
YOU COULD HAVE
SWERVED AND YOU
COULD HAVE
STOPPED
BUT YOU DIDN'T
NOW LOOK MY GOD
WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE
I ONLY HAD JUST ONE
I ONLY HAD JUST ONE
