You might think having those couple drinks,
Won’t mean anything but you’re wrong.
Having those couple drinks then going and grabbing your keys,
Could mean someone’s life in your hands.

And every time you turn the engine on,
And you’ve been drinking you,
You never know the consequences.
It could be life or death.

So don’t drink and drive.
That simple joyride could mean someone’s life.
So wise up, don’t take the chance.
What if that was your life, In somebody else’s hands?

If you drink, think about these few things;
Think about leaving your keys,
Or spending the night, call a friend or cab,
Don’t even think about driving home.
Help save someone’s life, maybe your own.

And every time you turn the engine on,
And you’ve been drinking,
You never know the consequences.
It could be life or death.

So don’t drink and drive.
That simple joyride could mean someone’s life.
So wise up, don’t take the chance.
What if that was your life, In somebody else’s hands?

And every time you turn the engine on,
And you’ve been drinking,
You never know the consequences.
It could be life or death.

A friend and I wrote this for our Drivers Ed class. Melody turned out quite nice, if I don't mind saying so myself.
