I said don't do it, babe,
Said it ain't worth it, babe,
But you did it anyway.
Four or five drinks and you were on your way…
September 1st, 2003…
It took the life right out of me
Hung up the phone
Raced out the door
Broken.
Tried to believe that it wasn't true,
But in my heart I always knew
That being the life of the party would catch up to you.
Your family was waiting and crying for three damn hours.
I said don't do it, babe,
Said it ain't worth it, babe,
But you did it anyway.
Four or five drinks and you were on your way.
Everything's cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five.
Why babe?
Every time I'm home I pass that road
Driving alone and the street feels cold.
Seeing your face yeah it's haunting me.
My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out
Just where you would be four years from now?
And what you were thinking when the lights came down?..
Doctors were trying to save you for three damn hours.
I said don't do it, babe,
Said it ain't worth it, babe,
But you did it anyway.
Four or five drinks and you were on your way.
Everything's cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five.
Why babe?
Who ever said that life was fair
When you live without a care?
When you're invincible?
When you're invincible?
When you're invincible?
Who thinks about leaving when you're livin'?
I said don't do it, babe,
Said it ain't worth it, babe,
But you did it anyway.
Four or five drinks and you were on your way.
Everything's cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five.
Why babe?
I said don't do it, babe,
Said it ain't worth it, babe,
But you did it anyway.
Four or five drinks and you were on your way…
