I went to a party, Dad...

[rainman]

I went to a party and remembered what you said
You told me not to drink Dad, 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 Dad, something I expected least

Now I'm laying on the pavement and I hear the policeman say
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Dad, his voice seems far away

My own blood is all around me as I try hard not to cry
I can hear the paramedic say, this boy 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 Dad, knowing that it ruins lives
Now the pain is cutting me, like a hundred stabbing knives

Tell sister not to be afraid Dad, tell mommy to be brave
and when I go to heaven, put "Daddy's Boy" 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 Dad, I'm getting really scared
These are my final moments and I'm so unprepared

I wish that you could hold me Dad, as I lie here and die
I wish I could say "I love you Dad", so I love you and good-bye
