At What Cost

At what cost
By Joeysguy

If you are going to a bar
Save lives, don’t drive your car

At what cost for that drink
Before you take it, stop and think

Just a bad choice that you could make
That bad choice will put lives at stake

With a life, someone could pay
The loss of life for your drunken day

Don’t use your seatbelt on your drunken day
Why should you live to walk away

So I ask, at what cost will that drink be
Just a few dollars to destroy a family 

If you live you will  go to jail
Tell your kids where to send your mail

Driving drunk the cops will pull you over
Hopefully before you kill, so drive sober

 P/S, Lets not forget about cell phone texts
While driving you could kill and cause wrecks
