music plays loudly
engulfing my thoughts
I cannot think about this lightly
can a soul be bought?
playing the game
without ever learning the rules
thought nothing could happen
drinking Tequila and acting like fools
we were wrong....
driving down the highway
at eighty miles an hour
thunder roared in lightning flash speed
while we laughed in an alcoholic glee
we became air-borne soaring high
we were invincible...you and me
the car came out of nowhere
driving slow and carefully
we thought it would be fun
to scare them ~ see how fast their car could run
bright lights burning, we swerved just a bit
thunder roared and the sky was filled with zee's
just before the big fiery crash
as we side-swiped the drivers door
the car flew through the rail
down the embankment we were all going to Hell
erupting into flames
as we traveled air-borne through the teardrops of rain
the last thing I knew was that Tequila burns fast
the bottle erupted as I screamed with pain
five people killed that stormy night
in an unfortunate collision due to the rain
no charges were brought
it was an accident
that is what the state troopers would say
that is what they thought
but I know the truth
I am the only one that lived
and the river of truth
runs deep and still
my life ended that night ~~
I am left paralyzed for life
would it serve a purpose
to confess
or am I repenting for my crime?
paying my just and life-long due
one long hour at a time
music plays loudly
engulfing my thoughts
I cannot think about this lightly
can a soul be bought?
I'll have another glass of Tequila
and eat the worm my friends
and I will stay air-borne till the very end
