I went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said.
 You told me not to drink, 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 thought 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 everybody 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 respondsible and sweet.
 
 I start to drive away Mom, but as I pulled out onto the road, 
 the other car didn't see me Mom, and he 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 laying here dying Mom, I wish you'd get here soon.
 How could this happend 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 want 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 is walking Mom, and I don't think its 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, before I say good-bye.
 I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?
