I went to a party Mom,
\nI remembered what you said.
\nYou told me not to drink, Mom,
\nSo I drank soda instead.<\/p>\n
I really felt proud inside, Mom,
\nThe way you said I would.
\nI didn’t drink and drive, Mom,
\nEven though the others said I should.<\/p>\n
I know I did the right thing, Mom,
\nI know you are always right.
\nNow the party is finally ending, Mom,
\nAs everyone is driving out of sight.<\/p>\n
As I got into my car, Mom,
\nI knew I’d get home in one piece.
\nBecause of the way you raised me,
\nSo responsible and sweet.<\/p>\n
I started to drive away, Mom,
\nBut as I pulled out into the road,
\nThe other car didn’t see me, Mom,
\nAnd hit me like a load.<\/p>\n
As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,
\nI hear the policeman say,
\n“The other guy is drunk,” Mom,
\nAnd now I’m the one who will pay.<\/p>\n
I’m lying here dying, Mom….
\nI wish you’d get here soon.
\nHow could this happen to me, Mom?
\nMy life just burst like a balloon.<\/p>\n
There is blood all around me, Mom,
\nAnd most of it is mine.
\nI hear the medic say, Mom,
\nI’ll die in a short time.<\/p>\n
I just wanted to tell you, Mom,
\nI swear I didn’t drink.
\nIt was the others, Mom.
\nThe others didn’t think.<\/p>\n
He was probably at the same party as I.
\nThe only difference is, he drank
\nAnd I will die.
\nWhy do people drink, Mom?
\nIt can ruin your whole life.
\nI’m feeling sharp pains now.
\nPains just like a knife.<\/p>\n
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,
\nAnd I don’t think it’s fair.
\nI’m lying here dying
\nAnd all he can do is stare.<\/p>\n
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
\nTell Daddy to be brave.
\nAnd when I go to heaven, Mom,
\nPut “Daddy’s Girl” on my grave.<\/p>\n
Someone should have told him, Mom,
\nNot to drink and drive.
\nIf only they had told him, Mom,
\nI would still be alive. <\/p>\n
My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
\nI’m becoming very scared.
\nPlease don’t cry for me, Mom.
\nWhen I needed you, you were always there.<\/p>\n
I have one last question, Mom.
\nBefore I say good bye.
\nI didn’t drink and drive,
\nSo why am I the one to die?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
