"I WENT TO A PARTY"                 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. PAIN 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 BROTHERS 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, 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??
