Headlights In The Night
DEATH OF AN INNOCENT
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 were 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 "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. 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?

Road
