I Was Lucky


Just a few drinks they said You’re not that drunk You can totally drive they said It’s okay. It was a horrific crash they told me It totaled the car I will never drive again they told me Not with these injuries. I never saw the caution sign I told the judge Safety wasn’t on my mind that night, It seemed okay I told the judge. The rescue teams orange vests are the last thing I remember. I thought it would be fine I didn’t think I was that drunk. I thought I I was in good shape, I think I thought wrong. Now my car is gone Now my leg is gone Now my career is gone I’m lucky it wasn’t my life.
