A COP ASKED THE WITNESSES By Tom Jensen
A cop asked the witnesses
Did you see the driver of the car?
The witnesses responded
She couldn't have gone that far
It's amazing where fate'll bring you
All the way to a cell
It's amazing where fate'll bring you
Down to the depths of hell
The night was dark and dreary
The rain was pouring down
The faces of the happy
Were quickly turned to frowns
November twenty-sixth
And there's not much thanks to give
It's hard to be rejoiceful
When daddy didn't live
A cop asked the witnesses
Did you see the driver of the car?
The witnesses responded
She couldn't have gone that far
Mommy ran into a restaurant
Screaming someone hurt my love
Mommy showed the owner
The broken wings of her dove
Two lives were almost taken
As soon as they begun
A two year-old child
And the young driver on the run
People dressed in black
Now put flowers on his grave
Daddy died a great hero
And his little girl he did save
A father's life is over
And a family torn apart
A mother's constant weeping
And a child's bleeding heart
A cop asked the witnesses
Did you see the driver of the car?
The witnesses responded
She couldn't have gone that far
There's fresh blood on the sidewalk
And tears fallen to the ground
Flowers on a gravestone
And a deeply saddened town
About the girl on the run
Are you sorry for your sin?
Your only chance at Heaven
Is turning yourself in
