[Verse 1]
You wouldn't take a taxi, you said you wouldn't stay
You drink and drink and drive almost every day
Your life speeds through your mind faster than you drive
Living on a shoestring all your fucking life
Your friends say you need help, you tell them that you're fine
As you tip the bottle and swallow some cheap wine
You're a living time bomb waiting to explode
You'll just be a statistic when you're dead and cold
[Chorus 1]
Every time you drink and drive you always think that you'll survive
Till your car gets crushed and bent
Impact is imminent
Sirens fill the streets aloud, it always draws the biggest crowd
They peel your body off cement
Impact is imminent
[Verse 2]
The daily obituaries reveal
More and more fools climbed behind the wheel
Thinking that they're sober enough to drive
They didn't know they'd never come back alive
A bad case of double vision led straight onto a head-on collision
Passed out and crossed the double line
How can anyone be so asinine?
[Chorus 2]
Blind, drunk and hauling ass, he got airborne off an overpass
He never knew he left the ground like a warhead target bound
You can't correct a fatal mistake
When you're guest of honor at your own wake
Thought he could fly till he hit cement
Impact is imminent
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Drunken time bombs set to detonate
When happy hour's over they're off to celebrate
Their vision's but a blur, they barely see the road
Been drinking for so long they're starting to erode
A fucking drunken lush driving in his car
Kills you in an instant coming from the bar
An alcoholic bum hits you from behind
A child and his mother run down in their prime
[Chorus 1]
Every time you drink and drive you always think that you'll survive
Till your car gets crushed and bent
Impact is imminent
Sirens fill the streets aloud, it always draws the biggest crowd
They peel your body off cement
Impact is imminent
[Chorus 2]
Blind, drunk and hauling ass, he got airborne off an overpass
He never knew he left the ground like a warhead target bound
You can't correct a fatal mistake
When you're guest of honor at your own wake
Thought he could fly till he hit cement
Impact is imminent
