Painful Memory

I never will forget the day

my world came crashing down

It happened out on highway 6

just right outside of town

 

My wife and I were headed home

after dinner and a show

When a truck who crossed the center line

gave me nowhere else to go

 

When I hit the ditch doing 65

all I heard was Tammy scream

Everything around me slowed

like I\'d stepped into a dream

 

We must have rolled at least 6 times

though I\'m sure that it was more

Then I asked my wife if she was hurt

as I opened up my door

 

If she answered me I couldn\'t hear

for the ringing in my head

So I came around to check on her

and realized she was dead

 

It\'ll be a year tomorrow

when my life came to an end

I not only lost my wife that day

but also my best friend

 

But tonight we\'ll be as one again

of this I have no doubt

As I place her picture on my chest

and the barrel in my mouth

 

My final thoughts upon this earth

will be of the only love I found

Because I never could forget the day

my world came crashing down
