On a stormy night, the thunder claps and the lightning strikes/
4 teenagers back in 1975 are in for one hell of a ride/
this won't be just any ordinary prom night/
between the fog, the booze and the rain, 4 families are forever changed/
with a few bad choices that my only son made, now I fight just to breathe again every day/
the scene of the crash is stuck on replay, 3:11 a.m, I'm watching rescuers pull the car out of the lake/
now I travel to high schools around telling of my son's untimely fate/
begging other young men and women to think twice of the choices they make/
one bad decision, your family and friends will never be the same
