Crowd gathered 'round a school bus 3rd Street and Elm The neighbor man said, "Officer I caught it all on film" I watched my little grandson Come so close to death By that man standin' right there With liquor on his breath Another little boy wasn't so lucky He was lyin' there in the street His little lifeless body Beneath the yellow sheet While the young man was on the sidewalk Goin' through a sobriety check The crowd was turnin into a lynch mob When he raised up his hands and said I only had just one I swear that's the truth That kid came outta nowhere There was nothing I could do I couldn't swerve I couldn't stop Now here I am asking God What have I done? I only had just one A young momma burst through the crowd And pulled back that yellow sheet Collapsed and started shakin' uncontrollably Searched until she found that young man With her shattered eyes Then tore a hole into his soul As she screamed and cried I only had just one And you took him away I hope this is something You relive everyday You coulda swerved and you coulda stopped But you didn't now look my God What have you done? I only had just one I only had just one
