Yes I am the man behind the wheel of that car

After a heavy night of drinking at the bar

I ran a stop sign as you can see

I hit another car and injured them and me

I got to walk away with barely a scar

They wound up dead because I went to the bar

Now a life of misery is my fate

My night of drinking at the bar I truly hate

No Christmas the same ever again

Cause their loved ones will remember way back when

They could open presents together, laugh and play

But now to me it’s just another miserable day

Never a day goes by I don’t regret

Getting behind the wheel after drinking makes me upset

But who am I, to have a say

I took their innocent lives, all away

All because I got behind the wheel of my car

After a heavy night of drinking at the bar.

Now my liver is failing because it’s enlarged

I was an alcoholic and found guilty as charged!
