《Coming Apart》歌词

[00:00:00] Friends there's somethin' been hauntin' me and I just got to tell you bout it

[00:00:28] I saw an accident one day that would chill the heart of any man

[00:00:33] And teach them not to drink a drop while the steering wheel's in their hand

[00:00:39] This awfull accident occurred on the 20th day of may

[00:00:43] And caused two dear little children to be sleeping beneath the clay

[00:00:48] These two little kids walked side by side along the state highway

[00:00:53] Their poor old mother she had died and their daddy had run away

[00:00:59] As these two little kids walked arm in arm how sad their hearts did feel

[00:01:05] When around the curb came a speeding car with a drunk man at the wheel

[00:01:11] The drunk man saw the two little kids and he hollered a drunken sound

[00:01:16] Get out of the road you little fools and the car it brought them down

[00:01:22] The bumper struck the little girl taking her life away

[00:01:26] While the little boy in a puddle of blood in the ditch lying there did lay

[00:01:32] The drunk man staggered from his car to see the damage that he had done

[00:01:37] And he let out a yell you could hear for miles when he recognized his dying son

[00:01:43] Such mourning from a drunken man I've never heard before

[00:01:47] While kneeling at the running board he prayed to heavens door

[00:01:52] Saying oh god please forgive me for this awful crime I've done

[00:01:57] And his attention then was called away by the words of his dying son

[00:02:04] And he said daddy why did you do this to us how come you run us to the ground

[00:02:10] It was you and mommy we was talking about when the car it brought us down

[00:02:16] And I was just telling little sister that I knew we'd see you again someday

[00:02:22] But daddy why did it have to be like this why did it have to be this way

[00:02:29] Why daddy why
