Darius Rucker I Hope They Get To Me In Time Lyrics

I Hope They Get To Me In Time Lyrics

I'm eight years old

Daddy's cuttin' my hair

Aqua Velva on his
hands.

Momma's in the kitchen

Got fried green tomatoes

Poppin' in the pan.

I see a home run, a goal line,

Holding my
friend gettin' baptized.

I see her beautiful face under that veil

As she's walking down the aisle.



I can hear the sirens
comin'

Smell the gasoline and smoke.

I'm pinned against this
steering wheel

Pretty sure my arm is broke.

I can see the flames
and my life

Flashing 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 turn out the
lights.



I can hear the sirens comin'

Smell the gasoline and
smoke.

I'm pinned against this steering wheel

Pretty sure my arm is
broke.

I can see the flames and my life

Flashing 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
want to do

So much I don't want to miss.



I can see the
flames and my life

Flashing 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.
