5 am a baby cries
A hand gun fires outside
Across the street
The mother wakes up from her sleep
He's been away since yesterday
She knows he's probably drunk and now she's wide awake, watchin lights flash out the window while she,
Tries to calm the baby down, hopin it's not her missin husband on the ground
He wakes up with a hurtin head
Handcuffed to a hospital bed
And a long line, of People happy he's still alive
Tracin back his misplaced steps
With one long instance wiped clean from his head, now he might be, bet•ter off dead
The headlines print the almost tragedy
Drunk man breaks in, accidentally
Jerry White was sixty-eight
Gun club, NRA stamped on his license plate
Dropped the charges the same day
Said he's usually a better shot
Said he mighta had a second thought
Hard to know for sure, with someone kickin down your door
Lucky for him the bullets missed his heart
It's hard to recognize your drunk ass neighbor in the dark
The young man paid the damage off
Hasn't had one drop, since those two shots
Spose to kill him dead, some how saved his life instead
But January brought a bitter rain, the sirens came
But this time, they were just too late, Old man Jerry's heart gave way
Now every morning the boy stares down the road
And says a prayer for Mr. Jerry's ghost
