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 payment, Mom,

I hear the policeman say,

“The other guy was drunk,” Mom,

And now I am the one who will pay.

I am 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.

I just wanted to tell you, Mom,

I swear I didn’t drink

It was the others, Mom

He was probably at the same party as I

The only difference is he drank

And I will die why do people drink, Mom?

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,

And I don’t think it’s fair. I’m lying here dying

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.

Tell daddy to be brave.

And when I go to heaven, Mom,

Put “Daddy’s Little” on my grave.

Someone should have told him, Mom,

Not to drink and drive. If only they had told him

I would still be alive.

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?
