Living in the heart of Georgia was a small family
Didn't have much but lots of love and each other's company
They prayed to God and read the Bible
They were as happy as could be
Until what happened one cold evening that changed everything
The Mother raised her tone
The Father raised his voice
They fought on for what seemed forever
It was wrong, but it was their choice
The children were crying
The Father was dying
And the next day, it was too late
He was gone
Which brings us to the moral of this song
Before the last words slip take a look back
And stay on track, stay on track
Before you wanna take it back
'Cause it can happen just like that
Just like that
Now, the kids are getting older
But they still won't forget
The night that took away life and brought them a heavy regret
So, it makes me start to wonder
Had the family known the future to be
Would they have chosen wiser words
Or continued to cut deep
If people knew to think before they speak
Then our final memories would always be happy
First impressions are always in mind
But wouldn't you want a last impression just as kind
Nowadays its something rather hard to find
Before the last words slip take a look back
And stay on track, stay on track
Before you wanna take it back
'Cause it can happen just like that
Just like that
Before the last words slip take a look back
And stay on track, stay on track
Before you wanna take it back
'Cause it can happen just like that
Before the last words slip take a look back
And stay on track, stay on track
Before you wanna take it back
'Cause it can happen just like that
Just like that
Ooh
