about

This is the first song about my sister, Kimberly's, car wreck. She was hit by a drunk driver in the Summer of 2010. The drunk driver was married to a state trooper, and thus got off with no charges and faced no repercussions. I harbor a lot of resentment for that woman because of what she put my sister through, which is why I wanted to write a song that makes her somewhat of a sympathetic character, so that it made it easier for me to forgive her.

lyrics

I hope you regret ever going out that night. Another night alone with the kids trying not to cry. A state trooper's wife shouldn't spend this much time – wondering if her husband will call or forget. As you chain smoked a pack of cigarettes, did you think it could be this hard to keep your face from getting wet. Why should tonight be any different? Just another shot before you pick up your children. Don't forget the tricks to not get caught that you learned from him. Maybe they will think you smell like rum raisin instead of gin. You must be getting sloppy in your old age; 10 years of drunk driving and it's always been okay. I hope you regret not turning on your head lights. There wouldn't have been a car wreck if you were in sight. You're so fucking lucky that you survived. While other drivers were being rushed to the hospital, you remembered to deny the Breathalyzer. And for the first time in years, being married to a cop you're thankful. The chances more than one in a million.
