Skid Marks on the Road
November 10, 2009
I was up early
Waiting for that call
The one that never came
The one that made me bawl
I just wanted to hear
Your voice one more time
But life can change
At the flip of a dime
Skid marks on the road
Heading straight for the ditch
Too late to turn
Too late to switch
Over and over
The truck rolled down
The sight was scary
And so was the sound
I wish you could be here
Today is a new day
Daddy I miss you
I wish it wouldn't have ended this way
