Lyrics

She still calls him baby, at nineteen
Same small boy that clung to her knees
Now reckless and wild too old to ground
She says son you got to settle down

Insults fly tempers ignite
His new mustang burns out the drive

Never thought today would be the day
Now she's begging God she's not too late
Blaming herself for his mistakes
Dying for the words she didn't say she didn't say

Just a little drive to blow off steam
His cell lights up the passenger seat
One hand on the wheel eyes on his phone
He misses the curve flies off the road

His pride and joy's wrapped around a tree
With a text his friends will never read

Never thought today would be the day
Now he's begging God it's not too late
Suffocating in his mistake
Dying for the words he didn't say didn't say


A billboard soars on highway 4
A useless text a mangled mess
And picture of the boy she adored

Never thought today would be the day
Now shes' begging God it's not too late
Praying some learn from their mistakes
Dying for the words they didn't say they didn't say
