I Hope They Get to Me In Time

[Verse 1] I am eight years old Daddy is cutting my hair Aqua Velva on his hands Momma is in the kitchen Got fried green tomatoes Popping in the pan I see a home run, a goal line Holding my friend getting baptized I see her beautiful face under that veil As she is walking down the aisle [Chorus] I can hear the sirens coming Smell the gasoline and smoke I am pinned against this steering wheel Pretty sure my arm is broke I can see the flames and my life Flashing right before my eyes I hope they get to me in time [Verse 2] I could see the headlights swerve So I cut the wheel to the right Last thing I saw was that bottle turned up As he crossed that center line I see tiny hands, brown eyes Falling to sleep to that lullaby And you slide over next to me As I turn out the lights [Chorus] [Verse 3] Please Lord, I am begging you Do not let me go like this There is so much left that I want to do So much I do not want to miss I can see the flames and my life Flashing right before my eyes I hope they get to me in time Just get to me in time Please get to me in, in time
