Down the Road

Down the Road Be There in Just a Little While
Knowing its No More Then a Mile
Message Comes Through I Know it Can Wait
Cause Driving and Texting  Can Be One Deadly Mistake
Let it Ring Through it Will Be Fine
I Know I Have Plenty of Time
Turning the Corner My Destination Now in Sight
Still Not Answering the Phone Cause I Know its
Not Right
Another Message I Guess it Might Be Urgent
Taking Eyes off the Road for One Second reply Will be Sent
Looking up Knowing There Is Not Much Time
In a Split Second All My Memories Travel Through
My Mind
Oh God Why Didn't I Listen to Myself and Not Do What I Did That Day
Cause That One Stupid Mistake Has Taken My Life Away
Hearts Will Be Broken Tears Will Continue to Cry
As the Question They Will All Ask Is ‘ Why ‘
