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
