I was driving down the road one night
In the cold and bitter snow
When three signs did appear
Within the headlights’ glow.

The signs each asked as I drove past,
“Please, don’t drink and drive,”
And each one stood as testament
For each of three lost lives.

Beneath each plea a plaque was placed,
“In memory of,” and then a name.
Each sign looked identical,
But no two names the same.

I thought that one would be enough,
One life to show to all that pass
That you should never drink and drive,
For that drive may be your last.

But instead, someone chose wrong,
And another flame burned out.
Then another sign was placed
That should’ve helped without a doubt.

But once again, someone chose wrong,
And their stupidity robbed them blind.
So in memory of that poor soul
There they placed another sign.

How many signs does it take
To convince man to stay alive?
It shouldn’t be that hard to make the choice
To never drink and drive.

It's not always your fault in a 'drink and drive' situation... The other person could be drunk, crash into your car but they don't get injured; you do.
