The Ride

I was drunk that foggy night,

Then all of a sudden I saw a big light.

We crashed so sudden into a tree

That glass and blood was all I could see.

My friend was with me all the way; 

Through the crash we both had to pay.

I looked over at Emily and she was crying;

I suddenly knew we both were dying.

Emily looked over and held my hand tight;

The light was blinding, out of sight.

I'm so mad at what I did.

Oh, save us, God; we're just kids.

I looked over at her again and everything was white;

We vanished quickly through the night.

Our lives were all over that dreadful day,

And I always thought we were here to stay.
