And remembered what you said
You told me not to drink, Mom
so I had a sprite instead
I felt proud of myself, Mom
the way you said I would
that I didn't drink and drive
though some friends said I should
I made a healthy choice
and your advice to me was right
the party finally ended, Mom
and the kids drove out of sight
I got into my car, Mom
sure to get home in one piece
I never knew what was coming, Mom
something I expected least
Now I'm lying on the pavement, Mom
And I hear the policeman say
"The kid that caused this wreck was drunk," Mom
His voice seems far away
My blood's all around me, Mom
as I try hard not to cry
I can hear the paramedic say
"This girl is going to die"
I'm sure the guy had no idea, Mom
while he was flying high
because he chose to drink and drive
now I would have to die
So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me, Mom
like a hundred stabbing knives
Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
tell daddy to be brave
and when I go to heaven
put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave
Someone should have taught him, Mom
that its wrong to drink and drive
Maybe if his parents had
I'd still be alive
My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I'm getting really scared
These are my final moments, Mom
and I'm so unprepared
I wish that you could hold me Mom
as I lie here and die
why'd it have to happen to me?
And not the other guy
I listened to what u said, Mom
I didn't drink and drive
And now I am lying here
Thinking, why'd i have to die?
I wish that I could say I love you, Mom
So I love you and good-bye.
