It's the weekend and I'm going out
I'm unwinding from the week with my friends
I only got my license a month ago
So my worried mom warns me and says
Be careful, above all don't drink
'Cause drunk driving's done too much damage
She's scared for me, since I'm leaving with my boys
And yeah those guys really go for Vodka
It's after midnight, alright we're off
I got myself ready so the girls will like me
I grab my keys, my cash, my license
And my cell phone in case trouble pops up
Mom's at the window to tell me goodbye
And I can feel despair in her eyes
She can trust me, I won't drive like a maniac
One thing's sure tonight I won't drink
We reach the club without any problem
You can be proud of me mom, I drove well
The place is lit, but like I told you
There's soda in my glass, I promised you
Just that doesn't stop me from joining the party
I don't feel the need to spin my head
Plus I know you're watching for my return
Mom you know damn well I'm an honest guy
It's four-thirty, the night's over
All that's left is to gather all my friends
We're heading out and everybody's smiling
The night was awesome, we all say see you Saturday
I start my car to head back home
It won't be hard 'cause I didn't drink
I won't drive too fast even if it'd make it shorter
Mom I wasn't deaf to your advice
So mom can you tell me why I'm cold?
Why the friends I was bringing home aren't here anymore?
Why when I look around me
I only see flashing lights, people who don't smile?
Mom I don't get it, I did everything you said
So why am I lying on the pavement?
Why is my life scrolling in front of my eyes?
I can even feel my heartbeat slowing down
Be strong mom, I don't want you to cry
I followed your advice, I made no mistake
Guess I'm just unlucky, life's screwing me
I feel my heart falter, yeah I feel it's time
Before I go, I'd like to know
Why did the guy who hit me start drinking
So I'm gonna end my life on a sidewalk
Mom I love you, sorry I can't
