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, I know you are always right
Now the party is finally ending, Mom, as everyone is driving 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, so responsible and sweet
I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road
The other car didn't see me, Mom, and hit me like a load
As I lay there 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, and most of it is mine
I hear the Medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time
I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink, it was the others, Mom
The others didn't think
He was probably at the same party as I
The only difference is, he drank and I will die
Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole life
I'm feeling sharp pains now, 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?
