I was headed north on Highway Five I was headed north on Highway Five Me dirigía hacia el norte por la autopista Cinco On a star-lit Sunday night On a star-lit Sunday night En un domingo por la noche iluminada de estrellas When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control Cuando una camioneta voló por mí fuera de control As I watched in my headlights As I watched in my headlights Como he visto en mis faros He swerved left then back right He swerved left then back right Él se desvió a la izquierda vuelva a la derecha He never hit the brakes He never hit the brakes Nunca pisó el freno As he left the road As he left the road Al salir de la carretera I found him lying in the grass I found him lying in the grass Lo encontré tendido en la hierba Among the steel and glass Among the steel and glass Entre los de acero y vidrio With an empty whiskey bottle by his side With an empty whiskey bottle by his side Con una botella de whisky vacía a su lado And through the blood and tears And through the blood and tears Y a través de la sangre y las lágrimas He whispered in my ear He whispered in my ear Él me susurró al oído A few last words just before he died A few last words just before he died A últimas palabras antes de morir Don't tell Mama I was drinkin' Don't tell Mama I was drinkin' No le digas a mamá estaba bebiendo Lord knows her soul would never rest Lord knows her soul would never rest Señor sabe que su alma no descansaría I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin' I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin' No puedo dejar este mundo con mamá pensando I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath Conocí al Señor con whisky en el aliento I still think about that night I still think about that night Todavía pienso en la noche And how that young man died And how that young man died ¿Y cómo ese joven muerto And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes Y como otros a veces pagar por nuestros errores The last thing on his mind The last thing on his mind La última cosa en su mente As he left this world behind As he left this world behind Al salir de este mundo detrás Was knowing someone else's heart would break Was knowing someone else's heart would break Fue conocer a alguien el corazón se rompería Don't tell Mama I was drinkin' Don't tell Mama I was drinkin' No le digas a mamá estaba bebiendo Lord knows her soul would never rest Lord knows her soul would never rest Señor sabe que su alma no descansaría I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin' I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin' No puedo dejar este mundo con mamá pensando I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath Conocí al Señor con whisky en el aliento Don't tell Mama I was drinkin' Don't tell Mama I was drinkin' No le digas a mamá estaba bebiendo
