I went to a party, mom
I remembered what you said
You told me not to drink mom,
So I drank soda instead.

I felt really 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 your always right,
Now the party's finally ending, mom
As everyone drives out of sight.

As I got into my car, mom
I knew I'd get home in one peice
Because of the way you raised me, mom
So responsible and sweet.

I started to drive away, mom
But as I pulled on to the road,
The other car didn't see me, mom
And it 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'll pay.

I'm lying here dying, mom
I wish you'd get here soon
How come this happend to me, mom
My life bursts like a balloon.

There is blood all around me, mom
Most of its mine
I hear the peramedic say, 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 others didn't think.

He didn't know where he was going, mom
He was probly at the same party as I
The only difference is, 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 am lying here dying, mom
While all he can do is stare.

Tell Elias not to cry now, mom
Tell Daddy to be brave
And when I go to heaven, mom
Write "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should of told him, mom
Not to drink and drive
If he would of only taken the time, mom
I would still be alive.

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

I have one last question, mom
Before I say good-bye
I didn't ever drink, mom
So why am I to die?

This is the end, mom
I wish I could look you in the eye
To say these final words, mom
I love you and Good-Bye.
