Drinking And Driving

Riding In The Car
Just Having A Little Fun
Cruising With My Friend
It Was A Quarter After One

My Friend Earlier That Night
Had A Little To Much To Drink
And She Was The Oldest One
Sitting In The Drivers Seat

She Started To Speed Up
Going A Little Bit Too Fast
Didn't Think To Tell Her Go Slower
I Was Too Busy Having A Blast

A Few Moments Later
My Mind Had Gone Blank
I Suddenly Woke Up In My House
And Felt My Heart Sink

I Look Over At The Clock
It Was 10 The Next Night
My Mother Looked So Upset
I Knew Something Wasn't Right

Mother Why Are You Crying
Whats Wrong Please Tell Me
Why Arnt You Answering
I'm Right Here Cant You See

A Few Minutes Later
In The Room Comes My Dad
He Doesn't Look Happy Either
In Fact He's Just As Sad

Hello Can You Hear Me
I Even Start To Scream
Still I Don't Get Their Attention
This Must Just Be A Dream

My Mom Has A Newspaper
Clenched Inside Her Hand
I Walk Over To Look At It
Maybe Then I'll Understand

Its Turned To The Obituaries
In Them Is A Picture Of Me
My Heart Starts To Pound
I Wonder How Can This Be

I Turn To The Front Page
So I Can Read Through That Too
The Headline Was Girl Killed In Crash
How Can This Be True

I Turn To My Mom And Dad
With Tears Filling In My Eyes
Even Though They Cant Hear Me
I Softly Say My Goodbyes

I'm Sorry Mom And Dad
You Know That I Love You
I'm Sorry For What I Did
It Was A Stupid Thing To Do

I Should Have Never Got In The Car
And Allowed Her To Drive
If Only I Had Been More Smart
I Would Probably Still Be Alive

I'm Sorry I Let You Down
After Everything You Said
You Told Me Drinking And Driving Was Bad
I Didn't Listen And Now I'm Dead

I Wish I Could Go Back
And Change The Entire Night
I Would Have Took The Bus Home
So I Would Have Made It Back Alright

Now I'll Be In Heaven
Sitting There Waiting For You
Just Keep Trying To Be Strong
I'm Sorry For This Pain I Put You Through

Daddy Dry Mom's Tears
Tell Her Not To Cry
I'm Sorry I Have To Be Going
So I Love You And Goodbye
