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
