I Died Today

It was a dark and a rainy night
My headlights were really too bright
I was thinking of my kids
And of my darling wife

My sales were down, my pay was small
And I needed money bad
I couldn't pay the mortgage
To even keep the things we had

Then through the night, there came a light
A hobo wandered ary
I brought my old car to a stop
He got in by my side

We continued on, just we two
His presence seemed to calm my nerves
Though the road was wet, and my vision blurred
And I didn't see the curve

When I awoke, I saw the flames
And the people through the trees
I knew from their conversation
That they thought the hobo was me

I'm sorry for the sorrow I caused
But there's a lot more sorrow from me
And I know my wife and kids can live
On my double indemnity

I just watched the hearse pull out
And the family drive away
It's awfully hard for me to go
But you know, I died today
