I was once like you
Wanting that high
Old enough to know better
But young enough to ignore why
My generation had all the stuff
We smoked, snorted, drank and took pills
Thought we knew it all
But what our dumb asses didn’t know
Was that stuff kills
“Oh, that won’t happen to me”, you say
Till your life’s hanging by a thread
With your buddy by your side
And you realize he’s dead
Life plays hard ball
When you don’t listen the first time
Slip just once more
Just might be the end of the line
Life is a gift to all of us
Choose carefully how you dance
Screw that up
You might not get another chance
So be thankful for your life
Live for your smiles tomorrow
Don’t be the source
Of anyone’s sorrow
Next time you want to
Chase that lie
Remember it’s a road to nowhere
A road where you might die
