I remembered what you said

You told me to be good mom

But I drank some beer instead.

I though I could handle it mom

I always drink and drive

All of my friends do mom

And they are still alive.

I know I did the wrong thing mom

I know you are always right

But I got into the car mom

And drove off, into the night.

I knew there would be no problem mom

I've done this ever since I became a man

I don't know why you worry mom

I will be home as soon as I can

I am driving down the road mom

I can't believe what I see

My car is going really fast mom

And it's heading for that tree.

What are all the lights and sirens mom

Why is my body in such pain

I wish you were here mom

So I could hear your voice again.

You know I am really tough mom

I've never lost a fight

But I am really afraid now mom

I know I will die tonight.

I wish I had one more chance mom

To see my daughter grow

I know you will take good care of her mom

I know you love her so.

Tell my sister not to cry mom

Tell my dad to be brave

And when I get to heaven mom

Write "Daddy's Boy" on my grave.

I know I have made you sad mom

But please remember me this way

Close your eyes and see my smile

It's in the suns golden rays.

I have one last favor mom

Before I say good bye

Tell my friends and cousins mom

Please don't drink and drive.
