Teenage Tragedy song lyrics

Teenage Tragedy by Jay Loftus

She gives daddy kisses
And tightly hugs her mom
She gets into the car
And heads out to her senior prom

Little does she know this fairy tale aint over yet
Then comes the one call that no parents ever wants to get

Take your keys out of the ignition
Why do you ever listen,
To what they say
How could you take something so beautiful away

What gave you the right on that short summers night
To take away such an innocent life
Spinning out of control
Into the river you go
A few drinks don’t seem like much,
But it leads to another teenage tragedy

Back at school the halls are quiet,
The air is heavy with emotion
Everyone is thinking the same thing
It hard to believe that this wasn’t just another bad dream
But realizing its reality

You weren’t supposed to be drinkin’
Let alone the drivin’
Now what can you say
Nothing cause you took them all away

What gave you the right on that short summers night
To take away such an innocent life
Spinning out of control
Into the river you go
A few drinks don’t seem like much,
But it leads to another teenage tragedy

How could you walk away
you just turn your back on everything
Sorry doesnt make up for the classic lines that you trying to find
Not even showing simplathy
Not even a concern
No we never learn

What gave you the right on that short summers night
To take away such an inncoent life
Spinning out of control
Into the river you go
A few drinks dont seem lik much
But it leads to another teenage tragedy
