Verse one

It wasn’t that long ago/ don’t remember
Maybe when we first had snow/ Late December
Was minus twenty below/ crazy weather
And ice all over the road/ Her name Heather
Coming from a late night show/ Should know better
Her kids are waiting at home/ there her treasure

It’s dark and she can’t see/ lights are on high beams
Conditions are extreme/ she’s falling asleep
I can picture the scene/ I can hear her scream
Wakening from her dream/ couldn’t intervene

I couldn’t stop that driver/ beside her
Drunk with the beer in his hand/ he ran
I Couldn’t put out that fire/ a fighter
Both crashed and he slammed/ a van
Hit but was just minor/ survivor
One he can’t even stand/ well damn

verse two


Daughters looking out the window/ watching the wind blow
Hurricane snow/ You know
Daughters looking out the window/ watching the wind blow
With no info/ what show

She should be asleep/ eye’s closed on the pillow
There fixed to the street/ but her moms been killed though
So now talk is cheap/ this will be a new low
This wound will be deep/ and she doesn’t even know

The son can see the lights/ they can hear the sirens
Coming from the horizon/ the house was all silence
It’s all so surprising/ police look like giants
Said they found the license/ of a Heather Ryan
They grab there devices/ cause he must be lying
But it’s a real crisis/ police said drunk driving
Something to do with ice/ with both the cars sliding
Took both of there life's/ and they both fell down crying

verse 3

It was a three car collision/ said the officer
Weather made for some bad vision/ a hug he offered
Drunk but he started the ignition/ it was there father
You could see the son just stiffen/ it was a slaughter

Things where on the rocks/ he started drinking a lot
Shot after shot/ whiskey and whatever
In the car no stops/ already had his mug shot
Caught but forgot/ and he should know better

He slide and they hit/ and damaged another
He got out and ran/ he killed his own lover
Catch me if you can/ slice just like butter
Got crushed by the van/ found in the gutter

Two kids and no parents/ no reassurance
With nothing to inherit/ Both lost and confused
And it’s so apparent/ all over the news
Two kids and no parents/ all cause of some booze
