Woke up in her bed to a text from a friend that said
"You better come quick
There's been an accident, a crash
They closed off the entrance ramp
Hard to really say what might happen"
Got out of bed and got dressed, and I gave her a kiss
Careful so that she didn't wake
I left her some cash just in case
I started the car and I drove to the mini mart
Put some gas in the tank
Paid with a card, so I wouldn't even have to say thanks
I was born a town over
'Cause that's where the hospital was when I was due to arrive
Now it's St. Mary's on the far end of the county
About a 25 minutes drive
A mother, a father
A brother, a sister
Weddings, graduations, a mass
My sister's a teacher and she moved to Ohio
My brother always drove pretty fast
A niece and two nephews dressed up for Christmas
Suspended where the picture was hung
And I got one of my own, and she's 14 years old
From when her mother and I were too young
And I got one of my own, and she's 14 years old
From when her mother and I were too young
I sat in my car and I listened to music
Sang along under my breath
It's hard to really say what might happen
In the moments that trail sudden death
I drove to the service road and rolled down the windows
Put my foot on the gas
My sister's a teacher in Dayton, Ohio
And my brother always drove pretty fast
Tell my daughter I love her, tell her mother I'm sorry
Tell them both that they're here in my heart
It's so hard to know the right time to show up
But you'll know when you're due to depart
It's so hard to know the right time to show up
But you'll know when you're due to depart
"You better come quick
There's been an accident, a crash
They closed off the entrance ramp
Hard to really say what might happen"
Got out of bed and got dressed, and I gave her a kiss
Careful so that she didn't wake
I left her some cash just in case
I started the car and I drove to the mini mart
Put some gas in the tank
Paid with a card, so I wouldn't even have to say thanks
I was born a town over
'Cause that's where the hospital was when I was due to arrive
Now it's St. Mary's on the far end of the county
About a 25 minutes drive
A mother, a father
A brother, a sister
Weddings, graduations, a mass
My sister's a teacher and she moved to Ohio
My brother always drove pretty fast
A niece and two nephews dressed up for Christmas
Suspended where the picture was hung
And I got one of my own, and she's 14 years old
From when her mother and I were too young
And I got one of my own, and she's 14 years old
From when her mother and I were too young

And my brother always drove pretty fast
Tell my daughter I love her, tell her mother I'm sorry
Tell them both that they're here in my heart
It's so hard to know the right time to show up
But you'll know when you're due to depart
It's so hard to know the right time to show up
But you'll know when you're due to depart
