I went to a party Mom,I remembered what you said,
You told me not to drink Mom, So I drank soda instead,
I really felt proud inside Mom, The way you said I would,
I didn't drink and drive Mom, Even though the others said I should,
I know I did the right thing Mom, But as I pulled out into the road,
The other car did'nt see me Mom,And hit me like a load.
As I lay here on the pavement Mom, I hear the policeman say,
The other guy is drunk Mom, and now I'm the one who will pay,
I'm lying here dying Mom, I wish you'd get here soon,
How could this happen to me Mom? My life just burst like a balloon,
There is blood all around me Mom, I'll die in a short time.
I just want to tell you Mom, I swear I did't drink,
It was the others Mom, The others didn't think.
Why do people drink Mom? It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now Mom, Pains just like a knife,
The guy who hit me is walking Mom, And I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry Mom, Tell Daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven Mom, put"Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have told him Mom, Not to drink and drive,
If only they had told him Mom, I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter Mom, I'm becoming very scared,
Please don't cry for me Mom, When I needed you, You were always there.
I have one last question Mom, Before I say good bye,
I didn't drink and drive, So why am I the one to die?
