and remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, mom
so I had a sprite instead.
the way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive, mom
though some friends said I should.
and your advice to me was right
as the party finally ended, mom
and the kids drove out of sight.
sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, mom
something I expected least.
and I hear the policeman say,
the kid that caused this wreck was drunk,"
mom, his voice seems far away.
as I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say, mom
this girl is going to die."
while he was flying high,
because he chose to drink and drive, mom
now I would have to die.
knowing that it ruins lives?
and now the pain is cutting me, mom
like a hundred stabbing knives.
tell daddy to be brave,
and when I go to heaven, mom
put "daddy's girl" on my grave.
that its wrong to drink and drive.
maybe if his parents had, mom
I'd still be alive.
I'm getting really scared.
these are my final moments, mom
and I'm so unprepared.
as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say I love you, mom
so I love you and good-bye.
