Darius Rucker – I Hope They Get To Me In Time lyrics

I'm eight years old, daddy's cuttin' my hair
Aqua Velva on his hands
Mamma's in the kitchen, got fried green tomatoes
Poppin' in the pan

I see a home run, a goal line
Holdin' my breath gettin' baptized
I see her beautiful face under that veil
As she's walkin' down the aisle

I can hear the sirens comin'
Smell the gasoline and smoke
I'm pinned against this steerin' wheel
Pretty sure my arm is broke

I can see the flames and my life
Flashin' right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time

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
Fallin' to sleep to that lullaby
And you slide over next to me
As I turned out the lights

I can hear the sirens comin'
Smell the gasoline and smoke
I'm pinned against this steerin' wheel
Pretty sure my arm is broke

I can see the flames and my life
Flashin' right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time

Please Lord I'm beggin' you
Don't let me go like this
There's so much left that I wanna do
So much I don't wanna miss, no

I can see the flames and my life
Flashin' 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
