(1) If you're thinking of raising that bottle, glass, or can,
you'd better be sure that you've worked out a plan
for a designated driver, who chooses not to drink.
That's the only way to do it, if you really stop and think!
Whether going near or far, you'll need someone to drive the car
who will get you all there safely---or you may not get there at all!
REFRAIN
(2) "One for the road"?---That just doesn't make sense!
That "one little drink" can mean you're not safe on the road!
And, if you've had a drink or two, you really cannot judge
as to whether you can drive a car without taking a life.
Make it "NONE for the road"! Drive smart; drive sober!
'Cause drinking and driving is a deadly combination.
REFRAIN
(3) Friends keep friends alive; they don't let them drink and drive!
They may tell you they can do it, cause they drank and drove before.
Well, it's sad that they're willing to risk their own lives,
but even worse, so many innocent lives are ended each day
while they're minding their own business, going safely on their way,
when someone else who drank and drove takes their lives away.
It's tragic how many people are crippled for life!
It's time we stop the madness and get everyone to say...
REFRAIN
(4) Don't destroy a life! It can happen in the blink of an eye!
A dream is a fragile thing, so don't drink and drive!
If you drink, don't drive! And when you're gonna drive, don't drink!
It's really very simple; you don't have to drink!
Alcohol's a drug, and you don't need drugs!
Celebrate life; don't drink and drive!
REFRAIN (sung three times)
