Just One

C
Crowd gathered 'round a school bus
G
3rd Street and Elm
Am
The neighbor man said, "Officer
G
I caught it all on film"
C
I watched my little grandson
G
Come so close to death
F
By that man standin' right there
D
With liquor on his breath

C
Another little boy wasn't so lucky
G
He was lyin' there in the street
Am
His little lifeless body

Beneath the yellow sheet
         C
While the young man was on the 
sidewalk
G
Goin' through a sobriety check

F
The crowd was turnin into a lynch 
mob
D
When he raised up his hands and said


G
I only had just one
D
I swear that's the truth
Em
That kid came outta nowhere
C                         D
There was nothing I could do
C                 G
I couldn't swerve I couldn't stop
C               G
Now here I am asking God
           Am
What have I done?
D             G         C
I only had just one

C
A young momma burst through the 
crowd
G
And pulled back that yellow sheet
Am                          
Collapsed and started shakin' 
  G
uncontrollably
         C
Searched until she found that young 
man
G
With her shattered eyes
F
Then tore a hole into his soul
D
As she screamed and cried

G
I only had just one
D
And you took him away
Em
I hope this is something
C               D
You relive everyday
C                     G
You coulda swerved and you coulda 
stopped
C                  G
But you didn't now look my God
           Am           D
What have you done?
D          G            C G C
I only had just one
                        G
I only had just one
