(i am aware of some wording being a little to over-used but this piece is old)
Hey mom, I'm at my class party, i still remembered what you said
you told me not to drink, so mom... i drank a soda instead
I know you're proud of me, mom, if only you'd see or could
they offered to drink, but mom, i refused maybe one or two
My mind isn't washed with liquor mom... see every thing's fine
I'm not stupid like these other people who would drink and drive
As i climb into the car, mom, be happy I'm be home in one piece
I'm responsible now, so there's no reason for you to judge me
I started backing away... then drove right down to the street
last of what i could remember, a bright light with no honk or a beep
My vision was blurry, mom, but i kept hearing a policeman speak
i collided with a drunk man... my God, my whole body felt weak
I'm surrounded by my own blood, mom please get here soon
i wouldn't want you to see me if i end up in a hospital room
I hear the medical sirens, mom, they said i don't have much time
can't believe this is my price to pay... for one man's dumb crime
Mom i swear with my last breaths i didn't drink even one sip
mom don't cry, it's not your fault people drunk drive or do this
This man was probably with me at the party, maybe i didn't see him
mom why do people drunk drive? wait... my heart is losing its beating
I can't move a muscle.. mom, i can't even move an inch
now i understand when grandpa said this pain was like a stitch
I looked at the man, mom, why is he walking... wait, why is it fair
he flashed a grin in my direction, mom, he smiled as he stared
Mom, tears wash down my face but its okay, stand and be brave
you told me to always be a man.. even if it meant an early grave
Its okay.. don't be sad, tell my brother not to cry, mom don't shed a tear
don't worry about graduation, even though i was top ten this year
Mom, with my last breath, all i wish to say is that I'm sorry for all this
don't cry now mom... you were there my whole life, every moment of it
With one last ounce of strength i reach to the sky and had a thought mom
why is it that I'm the one dying, when all night, i didn't do nothing wrong?
