Went To A Party

[cabinetman]

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
so I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right.
The party finally ended,
and the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece.
I never knew what was coming, Mom,
something I expected least.

Now I ' m lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
the kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.

My own blood ' s all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
this girl is going to die.

I ' m sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high.
Because he chose to drink and drive,
now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
Tell daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven,
put ' Mommy ' s Girl ' on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
That it ' s wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I ' d still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter,
Mom I ' m getting really scared
These are my final moments,
and I ' m so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, ' I love you, Mom! '
So I love you and good-bye.

What frightens me is that in 2008 we still have to bring this up... It's the whole personal responsibility thing. So it's not the drunk drivers fault, it must be the car manufacturer who built a car that wasn't strong enough to protect the occupants from a high speed collision with a drunk...

C-man, I would be happy to put my name on the list. My only concern is it's authentisity. There are too many of these deals going around with the sole purpose of cloging up the internet. If you can vouch for this cabbie, I'll put my name in.

Sending PM.
