If I could turn back the hands of time
Bring back the old address “primetime”
Broken glass on the ground turns back into a window
Hopefully now, God got the info
Blood on the ground rushes back into his body

It travels to his head and all around the brain

Down to the chest and through his veins

As the blood rushes down all the way to his heart

It’s almost ready to pump but not yet to start

His car door un-crushes and his fender unbends

His tail lights are re-adjusted and he’s back to his sins

He is now all done and good to go

Now you and I will never know

Why he was parked on the shoulder in the middle of the night

Just for a CD that can’t be right

So now I stand and watch the whole thing again

It’s so hard I wish it never began

You could see them pull up on the shoulder

They weren’t thinking about anyone not even the older

They stopped the car just for a CD

You and I know that it just can’t be

As they got back in the car and ready to go

I can see him putting his hands on the wheel steady to roll

Out of nowhere there is a collision with my uncle’s car

BAM! You can see it, he came from real far

So drunk and missed up he was so lost

But for my uncle, he’s the one who had to pay the cost

As his soul slowly leaves his body

He takes his last breath feeling drowsy

So now it’s getting dark for him, I can tell by his eyes

I can see his friend pulling him out from where he lies

So I close his eyes and tell him good night

And that he’s gone to a better place tonight
