band : woodbox gang
album : white trash voodoo

drunk and insane ( i die tonight )

Dm C Dm

verse 1
Dm
drunk and insane i was driving in vain
C Dm
to some nowhere that seemed to be near
Dm
ashamed of my past i stomped on the gas
F C
and swallowed a swig of my beer
Dm
no cars in sight on this black dreary night
F C
i accepted my darkest of shames
Dm
to end my existence on this path was fittest
C Dm
to crash and to burn into flames

verse 2
go into the mystic another statistic
impaired or asleep at the wheel
for sure it was vital to mask suicidal
the truth never to be revealed
the tears of my family and all of their scrambling
to hide such a delicate truth
he dodged for a deer or just had to much beer
never meaning to snuff out his youth

instrumental

A# F C A7

verse 3
i corrected a swerve as i rounded a curve
near a thicket of pines on the side
let go of control as the vehicle rolled
on the gravel and into a slide
a barbed wire fence had no good intents
to help save this poor wretched life
when i splintered that tree i had to believe
i was still doing near sixty – five

chorus
A#
i die tonight

i die tonight

verse 4
the steering wheel pressed itself to my chest
my head smacked hard at the glass
the smell of the sap was well overlapped
with the beer and the blood and the gas
awake for a second enough that i reckoned
that this plan was incredibly flawed
the pain was intense i was wholly convinced
i was almost dead like it or not

verse 5
and like it i didn’t for if just that minute
i’d have again to replace
i’d make it all different and not be so ignorant
to the grave consequences i faced
but i faced them alone as the meat on my bones
poured out all the life they had left
it filled up the ashtrays i slumped over sideways
and gasped my last booze laden breath
