The Night Before (Life Goes On)
Sitting up on the roofSneaking a smoke by the chimneyChecking out the moonAnd the city lightsHe takes off his flannel shirtAnd he drapes it around her shouldersSlides up behind her and holds on tightAnd she says"I don't want this night to endWhy does it have to end?"
[Chorus:]Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10Baton Rouge, LSU18 years in her rearviewHe's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the blockAt daddy's shopIt ain't much but its a jobThey've been dreading this moment all summer longThe night beforeLife goes on
OoohA tear falls off her cheek andRight when it hits his arm he says"Come on babyLet's get outta here"They take one last drive around townAnd man itAlready looks differentHe bangs the wheel and says"Life ain't fairAnd this growing up stuff man I don't knowI just don't wanna let you go"
[Chorus:]Tomorrow shell be rolling down I10 Baton RougeLSU18 years in her rearviewHes got a Friday paycheck lined up down the blockAt daddy's shopIt ain't much but its a jobThey've been dreading this moment all summer longThe night beforeLife goes on
Yeah that's what my momma told meAnd just like those kidsI didn't wanna listen to no oneYea theres nothing you can doTheres nothing you can sayAnd I know how it feels when love goes away
[Chorus:]Tomorrow shell be rolling down I10 Baton RougeLSU18 years in her rear-viewHes got a Friday paycheck lined up down the blockAt daddies shopIt ain't much but its a jobThey've been dreading this moment all summer longBut here it isThey don't have longThe night beforeLife goes onYeah e yeah e yeah e yeah e yeahhhh
