| 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 that has to die? |
