She was only 15, she was on her way to school
The most likely to succeed they said , she never lost her cool
As the car came around the bend, every mothers nightmare he would send
Tires screech, school books fly, another innocent angel dies
Kneeling down by her baby on the ground
Took her hand held it close and then she cried outloud
Mama cried, please don't take my girl away
Mama cried, say it isn't so, don't let her go
Mama cried, It hurts so bad, I don't wanna be mad
But it's just so sad...........Mama cried
The stolen car was whiskey laced
They said he left without a trace
Her future now lies in a different place
Shattered dreams, life's little things
Words left unspoken, now it seems
That it was only yesterday, that I could sit and watch her play
Kneeling down on the ground beside her grave
Happy birthay sweet sixteen, I'll be back next Saturday
Mama cried, why'd you take my girl away
Mama cried, It's just so hard to let her go
Mama cried, It hurts so bad, I don't wanna be mad
But it's just so sad
Icecream sundaes, lipstick smiles, and fairytales
Precious memories going by just like a carousel
Mama cried, I remember pig tales in the wind
Mama cried, school days, playgrounds, runnin with your friends
Mama cried, watching you and daddy play
One shot one beer to many took it all away
She was only 15, the most likely to succeed they said. That's what the headline read
