C
Crowd gathered 'round a school bus
G
3rd Street and Elm
Am
The neighbor man said, "Officer
G
I caught it all on film"
C
I watched my little grandson
G
Come so close to death
F
By that man standin' right there
D
With liquor on his breath
C
Another little boy wasn't so lucky
G
He was lyin' there in the street
Am
His little lifeless body
G
Beneath the yellow sheet
C
While the young man was on the sidewalk
G
Goin' through a sobriety check
F
The crowd was turnin into a lynch mob
D
When he raised up his hands and said
G
I only had just one
D
I swear that's the truth
Em
That kid came outta nowhere
C D
There was nothing I could do
C G
I couldn't swerve I couldn't stop
C G
Now here I am asking God
Am
What have I done?
D G C
I only had just one
C
A young momma burst through the crowd
G
And pulled back that yellow sheet
Am G
Collapsed and started shakin' uncontrollably
C
Searched until she found that young man
G
With her shattered eyes
F
Then tore a hole into his soul
D
As she screamed and cried
G
I only had just one
D
And you took him away
Em
I hope this is something
C D
You relive everyday
C G
You coulda swerved and you coulda stopped
C G
But you didn't now look my God
Am D
What have you done?
D G C G C
I only had just one
G
I only had just one
