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 onto 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 want 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,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.
