I went to a party, mom, I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, mom, So I had a coke instead.

I 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. 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 peice. Because of the way you raised me, mom, 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 it 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 wo 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, mom, At the same party as I. The only difference is, mom, He drank and I will die.

Why do people drink, mom, It can ruin your whole 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, mom, 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 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, mom, So why am I the one to die?
