How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs and parties, she was so happy.
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school everything went great.
She made new friends and she even got a date.
She thought, "I want to be popular
and it's just like a dream
Because I just got a date with the star of the team."
To be known in this school you had to have clout
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate
Her parents had said she was too young to date.
"Well I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference, what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense
She began to feel guilty about all the lies
But what's a pizza, a party and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good and the party was great
But the moonlight ride would have to wait
Because Jeff was half drunk by this time
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
The room was filled with smoke, Jeff took a puff
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked one more joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive
They finally made it to the point at last
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
And by a pass I don't mean playing football
"Perhaps my parents were right, maybe I am too young
Boy, how could I have ever been so dumb."
With all of her might she pushed Jeff away
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger
Jenny knew that her life was in grave danger
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down
But he just drove faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied
I really went out for a drunken moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden she saw a white light
"Oh God, Please help us" she screamed with might.
She doesn't remember the force of impact
Just then all of a sudden everything went black
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble
And heard, call an ambulance, these kids are in trouble.
Voices she heard... a few words at best
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right
And if the people in the other car was alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all that we can do
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car", Jenny cried
"We're sorry, Jenny, but they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell my Mom and Dad that I'm sorry I lied
And that it's my fault so many have died
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there and she wouldn't agree.
She took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes
And a few moments later... Jenny had died
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with her eyes so sad
"The people in the other car were her mom and her dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant but true
So young people take heed, it could happen to you.
