Please Don'T Drink and Drive

The day befrore Mother's Day in 1983 My daddy my mama my sister and me Were on our way into town to buy a gift for mom Little did we know this day the Lord for us would come One minute I was in the car as happy as could be Then I woke up soon after that with Jesus holding me My mama was the only one the Lord allowed to live He didn't take her home because she had so much to give It was a senseless accident we didn't have to die The family we left behind just wanted to know why But as the Lord says in His word His will must be done He also promises us one day we all will live as one I can't begin to tell you what it's like up here Since we came we have not seen one person shed a tear The Lord has given each of us a special job to do Daddy, me and Kristen are watching over you This message comes straight from my heart Please don't drink and drive If that man had used good judgement we would be alive But please be comforted by this We are all ok and we're waiting here to welcome you On that great reunion day In Loving Memory of Bill, Karen and Kristen McKellar In Honor of Joan McKellar Caraway
