Just One

1st verse

Crowd gathered 'round a school bus

3rd Street and Elm

The neighbor man said, "officer

I caught it all on film"

I watched my little grandson

come so close to death

By that man standin' right there

with liquor on his breath'

2nd verse

Another boy wasn't so lucky

he was lyin' there in the stree

his lifeless body

beneath the yellow sheet

while the young man was on the sidewalk

Goin' through a sobriety check

the crowd turnin into a lynch mob

when he raised his hands and said,

Chorus

I only had just one

I swear that's the truth

That kid came out of nowhere

There was nothing I could do

I couldn't swerve I couldn't stop

Now here I am asking GOD

What have I done?

I only had just one

3rd verse

A young momma burst thru the crowd

pulled back the yellow shee

collapsed and started shakin' uncontrollably

searched until she found that young men

with her shattered eyes

she tore a into his soul

tag chourus

I only had just one

and you took him away

i hope this is something

you relive everyday

you coulda swerved you coulda stopped

but you didn't, now look, my god

what have you done?

I only had just one

I only had just one
