Allan, Gary - Don't Tell Mama Lyrics
I was headed north on Highway Five
On a star-lit Sunday night
When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control
As I watched in my headlights
He swerved left then back right
As he left the road
I found him lying in the grass
Among the steel and glass
With an empty whiskey bottle by his side
And through the blood and tears
He whispered in my ear
A few last words just before he died
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
I still think about that night
And how that young man died
And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes
The last thing on his mind
As he left this world behind
Was knowing someone else's heart would break
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'

Wow what a heart wrenching song! I didn't know Gary Allan sang traditional country songs like this one. Where have they been hiding them?
It's been for a long tine
Steel guitar cry... is incridible Gary.
Best version.....fab.
This song says it all. Gary's the man.
a very sad song Gary
Alcohol killed my sweet nephew at 40yrs old, my brother and his wife want be the same.
Love his voice. This is country❤
My Grandfather passed with alchohol problems, Cirrhosis of the liver killed his body. God took his soul. Hope to see him again and sit down and talk a little while up yonder.
Last Saturday marked 13 years for me you know what there is something stronger than whiskey and that is God all mighty
That's right GOD will us if you pray and asked GOD some hlep .🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I played the steel guitar in the 80s to these songs in the bars sober 16 yrs now
never heard this before- Awesome song
i bet you guys dont know he is from california
One of my favorite songs by Gary Allan
Country music is about telling stories. This is a powerful story so well interpreted by Gary. Brilliant.

I was headed north on Highway Five
On a star-lit Sunday night
When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control
As I watched in my headlights
He swerved left then back right
He never hit the brakes
As he left the road
I found him lying in the grass
Among the steel and glass
With an empty whiskey bottle by his side
And through the blood and tears
He whispered in my ear
A few last words just before he died
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
I still think about that night
And how that young man died
And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes
The last thing on his mind
As he left this world behind
Was knowing someone else's heart would break
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
awesome
Yes ist
Still My Fav Gary Allan Song.
Love You Man.
AND FREE CELL PHONES
this is WHAT YOU NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT
Keep TAXING the shit out of WORKING AMERICANS AND GIVING FREE MONEY TO A BROKEN WELFARE SYSTEM. dID YOU KNOW you can go entire life with no job, and get great medical care
we Americans need to stand up. No more of this bullshit TRUMP can't do it alone. HE needs us
He's doing a dam good job at it 👌👌💪
sober and stupid
wake up
Wake the hell up
you talk music all you want , WAKE UP . OUR GOV. IS NOW TAKING A PRIVATE FAMILY MATTER AWAY. NO VOTE BY ANY OF US AMERICANS. ITS NOT A DECISION TO BE MADE BY POLITICIANS.
WHATS NEXT. MAYBE YOU NEED A ORGAN DONATION , WELL GOOD LUCK ON THAT THEY DECIDE IF YOU ARE WORTHY
This is a song i could picture George Jones singin
Keith Whitley too.
No you can't. Because he lived a good full life and even had a dog food named after himself.
@nemesisgenius Keith Whitley was much more tragic than this. He could have kept the world from suffering through Garth Brooks and saved country music.
Great fuckin song!
Nothin' wrong with a good ol country song....
AWSOME. SONG. GARY ALLEN. BEST. ROM THE HEART ?
Yes it is 🙏🙏🙏
*go hard
Good song a good example we shouldn't be drinking. In the Bible it's says to stay sober. I never had no desire to do drugs or to drink. God keeps me strong a I had a good old fashioned Christian mom to that taught me of the Greatest most loving man that loved us a died for our sins his name was Jesus Christ a he's the king of all Kings. Just remember friend drink a drugs isn't the answer it s. Jesus Christ.
Sandra Miller well not everyone is the same and that is what makes the world go around
@eric orme no it's what makes the devil go around a strong winning souls to Hell.
Amem🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

🤠👆🏽🥋🤜🏽🤛🏽🖐🏽
Oh why can’t we have it this good now a days best cover heard 👏🏻
Kills me to hear this, my son is an 44 yr old alcoholic who only drinks only whiskey straight now. Of course, I feel it's all my fault, something I did or didn't do right.
Not your fault mom. just hang in there.
Its not your fault Mama ..I have 2 children they were raised together they are only 17 months apart... my son works hard, has acquired much.. never has disrespected me... my daughter however was (and now has started again) into the hard drugs..lost her 4 children, floats about and lands where ever... has nothing... and has no respect for anyone or anything... it took a long time for me to come to terms with it... They are responsible for their actions..
Take care Mama..(((HUGS)))
This is music with a message.
don't drink and drive. YOUR A BLOODY IDIOT. drive SAFE.
I got drunk and wanted to leave my friends place. They held me on the ground for 4 hours because everytime they let me to I tried to run to my car. I ended up in the e.r later that night because they where afraid for my safty. My best friend came to visit me the next day and played this song for me. And said this was gunna be sent to my mom if I would have gotten into my car and got away. Shit hits you hard
I had the same thing happen to me except I was drinking Root Beer. And my Mama died 3 months before I was born. But I know what you mean... Shit happens, and then you fall back in it.
