Through a working day into a snowy slippery night
The roads where slick gleaming off the moonlight
Shimmering my way forward i lost direction
In a since the airbag was my protection
Startled my body left motionless and shook
steaming airbag my left arm in pain took
a moment to gather what had just happened
Onstar right away woke me with fake laughing
puppy in the floorboard scared but not raddled
It was like I was thrown off a bull that just skedaddled
When i approached the turn I did what I made the turn last time
hit the brakes and just leaned to the side
But they locked up and a tree in the woods is where i took my glide
passer byers stopped and called for help and asked if i was alright
this was not how i wanted to spend the rest of the night
just took a break from Ubering eats delivering a 22 mile order
I almost took a wrong turn ended up in the carder
EMT's checked me out I told them I was fine
Did not want to spend my night in the hospital in a country town
Making faces to I just lost everything hospitals gown
I been dealing with grief loss and depression
But in that moment its like i lost all my aggression
to just count my blessings that I walked away
I gave thanks to God night and day
First accident I ever been in I'm 35 and started driving at 18
I felt the sure momentum of just 35 mph into a tree
Tats enough to scare me into taking my time with anything
So i just put on my headphones and sang
Pick me up when I'm down
Feeling the comfort of a jazzy sound
I geta count my luck
And not self destruct
