Just One Drink

Here I am, it all ends here Just because he had a beer "Be careful hon" my mother said And because of him, I'll soon be dead Never did I down a drink But the pressure made me think Just one drink, it couldn't hurt But I chose water in all it's worth Apparently he chose the same But too soon, he sank in vein Just one drink was all he thought One fun night was all he sought Oh his car, it sped so fast And then it hit with one large blast My mind it raced among all things The pain it brought the sharpest stings There I saw my body lay And from about I heard him say "Oh no what have I done It was just one drink, was only one" Pinned between his car and mine Layed a life on the line Just because he choose to drink For the rest of you, please choose to think Save a mother from all her tears Take away a fathers fears Spare a family all the pain Save a life, hold the rain
