Driving down the highway in the pouring rain
Mom is yelling at me and saying Im a pain
I tell her to keep her eyes ahead but she doesnt like to listen
The wheels were flying over the ground and the brakes were hissing
Stop signs meant nothing as she sped on through the town
Our fight was growing and it had gotten really loud
I couldnt even begin to think she would forget to watch the road
But sure enough we saw a truck flashing Heavy Load
I yelled at her and took the wheel but it was way too late
I was sure this was the end and this would be my fate
By now I didnt even want to make it out alive
After all Id gone through I wouldve rather died
I braced myself for impact but it never came
Instead I turned my head to hear a scream of pain
Along side my window was the driver of the truck
I hoped he would be okay but he was all out of luck
I tried to call the 911 but I was out of range
Wanting nothing more than for this moment to change
So we got back in the car and drove on toward our home
Hearing nothing more than the engines melancholy drone
By the time we reached the neighborhood mom hadnt said a word
She stared straight ahead and didnt react to the bouncing ball I heard
I looked ahead to see my baby sister and her dad
And finally, just like that, nothing seemed so bad
But my sister came to see mommy and ran up to the car
Mom didnt see her and turned round right way too hard
Then my baby sister squealed and crumpled down in fear
A horrible scent filled the air that told me death was near
Mom tried to swerve but it was far too late
Today was the last day for tiny little Kate
Dad had tried to sue us but the court was on our side
But not even that would further hurt my pride
Momma told them Kate just ran into the car
They never suspected mom just went too far
Now Ive lost a sister and mothers lost her liscence too
Even if I forgot her theres nothing I can do
Kate is gone for ever but she lives on in my mind
I think of her sweet smile and how she was so kind
I try to think that momma didnt mean to take her life
But I cant erase the feeling that she stabbed her with a knife
Even if I could forgive her for that day
I wont forget my sister and I wont forget to pray
Shes with me in my heart and shes always watching me
Kate is still my baby sister and shell always, always be
