Four gray walls surround me,
Sitting here in this county tower,
to pay for what I've done
I know they'll find me guilty
Hittin' runnin', hittin' and runnin',
hittin' and I was at a dance
I left the dance about midnight
I couldn't see a fog lay on the ground
and there I run him down.
I pulled off of the highway,
my soul all sick with pain,
To see that little boy's figure,
A chill of fear rushed over me,
at thought of what I'd done.
I knew it was an accident
But here lies someone's son
Hidden love, hidden love, hidden love
A picture flashed before my eyes
I'd had a couple of drinks or more
They'd put the blame on me
For it only took a glance to see
But the only thought inside of me
So I left him there, got in my car
and I raced back into town
Found myself the closest bar
and I tried to drink it down
But the TV shows, the radios,
I kept asking this one question,
and every night was sleepless misery
and that little boy is all that I could see
So the one thing left to face now
And face the only outcome
But I've paid a thousand times or more
Will take away this memory
And ease my troubled mind
Stay with love, stay with love,
stay with love, stay with love...
