Drunk Driver

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 ARE 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 PIECE.
BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU RAISED ME, 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 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 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 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 AT THE SAME PARTY AS I.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, HE DRANK AND I WILL DIE.
WHY DO PEOPLE DRINK, MOM? IT CAN RUIN YOUR WHOLE LIFE.
I'M FEELING SHARP PAINS NOW. PAINS JUST LIKE A KNIFE.
THE GUY WHO HIT ME IA 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 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 GOODBYE.
I DIDN'T DRINK AND DRIVE, SO WHY AM I THE ONE TO DIE?
