The Drunk Driver

She was drinking at a party On a raging New Year's Eve She had to be home early She knew she had to leave "Honey do you need a ride" Her boyfriend sweetly said She just smiled back at him And quickly shook her head "I've got to leave right now So I'll just take my car... But don't you worry, sweetheart Cause I won't drive too far" Unaware she'd been drinking, He watched her drive away She knew that this was wrong But she did it anyway "I only had a couple drinks I know that I'll survive" She kept saying in her head As she went for this short drive The alcohol took over her She wasn't thinking straight She assumed that there was no one Who'd be driving out this late She ran all of the stop lights As she sped along the road Never thinking of the pain This night would soon behold But out of nowhere, came a car She screamed as headlights flashed She flew out of the windshield As both of their cars crashed She woke up laying on the ground Sirens screaming in the night She was bleeding quite a bit But she knew she'd be alright With dread, she saw the other car That had rolled down the hill She knew this was her fault As she started feeling ill But when she saw the body Tears started falling down As she looked down to find Her dead boyfriend on the ground
