I went to a party, mum,
I remembered what you said
You told me not to drink, mum,
So I drank soda instead
I really felt proud inside, mum,
The way you said I would
I didn't drink and drive, mum,
Though the others said I should
I started to drive away, mum,
But as I pulled out into the road
The other car didn't see me, mum,
It hit me like a load
As I lie there on the pavement, mum,
I hear the policeman say
The other guy is drunk, mum,
And I'm the one who will pay
I'm lying here dying, mum,
I wish you'd get here soon
How could this happen to me, mum,
My life just burst like a balloon
There is blood all around me, mum,
And most of it is mine
I hear the doctor say, mum,
I'll die in a short time
I just want to tell you, mum,
I swear I didn't drink
It was the others, mum,
The others didn't think
Why do people drink, mum?
It can ruin your whole life
I'm feeling sharp pains now
Pains just like a knife
The guy who hit me is walking, mum,
And I don't think it's fair
I'm lying here dying, mum,
And all he can do is stare
Tell my brother not to cry, mum,
Tell daddy to be brave
Tell them when I am in Heaven, mum,
I'll get all the things I crave
Someone should have told him, mum,
Not to drink and drive
If only they had told him, mum,
I would still be alive
My breath is getting shorter, mum,
I'm getting scared of death
Please don't cry for me, mum,
Just pray for me instead
This is the end, mum,
I wish I could look you in the eye
To say these final words, mum,
I love you and goodbye
