Please don't drink and drive. It's the innocent that gets hurt.

Went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said
You told me not to drink, Mom. So I drank a Coke instead.
I felt really proud inside Mom. The way you said I would
I didn't drink and drive Mom, even though others said I should
I know I did the right things Mom, I know you're always right
Now the party is finally ending Mom, as everyone drives out of sight
As I got into my car Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece
Because of the way you raised me, Mom.
So responsible and sweet,
I started to drive away, Mom. But as I pulled onto the road
The other car didn't see me Mom, and it hit me like a load.

As I lie here on the pavement Mom, I hear the policeman say
The other guy is drunk Mom, now I'm the one who'll pay.
I'm lying here dying Mom, I wish you'd get here soon
How come this happened to me Mom, my life burst like a balloon
There is blood all around me Mom, I'll die in a very short time.

I just wanted to tell you Mom, I swear I didn't drink
It was the others, Mom, the other's didn't think.
He didn't know where he was going Mom, he was a the same party as I
The only difference Mom, he drank and I will die

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, I don't think that is fair
I'm lying here dying Mom, while all he can do is stare

Tell my brother not to cry, tell Daddy to be brave
And when I get to heaven Mom, write Daddy's girl on my grave
Someone should have told him Mom? not to drink and drive
If only they have taken time Mom, I would still be alive

My breath is getting shorter Mom, I'm becoming very scared
Please don't cry for me Mom, because when I needed you
You were always there.

I have on last question Mom, before I say goodbye
I didn't even drink, Mom, so why am I to die?
