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 is 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 "GOOD BOY " 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, 
            So why am I the one to die?
