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're always right.

The party is finally ending, Mom, and everyone is driving out of sight.

As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in all one piece.

Because of the way you raised me,  Mom, so responsible and oh so 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 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 very short time.

I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink.

It was the other driver, Mom. The other driver didn't think.

He was probably at the same party as I was, Mom, but the only difference is

he drank and drove, Mom and I'm the one who will die.

Why did he drink and drive ? Mom. It ruined my whole entire life.

I'm feeling sharp pains now. Mom. 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 Baby 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 to die?"

 This is the end,  Mom, I wish I could look you in the eye

To say these final words

"I LOVE YOU AND...GOODBYE"
