Boy, it is touchy !

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?
