Mother's Day

Not a cloud covered the cold autumn night
I can see Orion's belt underneath the city lights
No one would be prepared for the news they would receive
The morning after was the hardest part to believe
You didn't slow down and your guard must've dropped
Hit the jump 100 miles until you flipped on the spot
I heard the wind took course, which took you by surprise,
And the moment you saw your life flash right before your eyes

We'll take our Model T Fords on a long Sunday drive
As fireworks explode on the 4th of July
As the road narrows, looking over the horizon
A silent scene to capture the essence of demise

The world is cruel place I think we all understand
To prepare us for a future in which we never planned
I hear your voice echo down the hall into your room
Hoping this is all a dream and that you would come home soon
Now I guess this is the moment in which we learn to adjust
Do you realize the pain inside that you are giving us?
I heard the news firsthand, I won't forget the day
Your accomplishment will never be looked down in vein

We'll take our Model T Fords on a long Sunday drive
As fireworks explode on the 4th of July
As the road narrows, looking over the horizon
A silent scene to capture the essence of demise
