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
