The Night Before (Life Goes On)

Sitting up on the roof
Sneaking a smoke by the chimney
Checking out the moon
And the city lights
Takes off his flannel shirt
Drapes it around her shoulders
Slides up behind her and holds on tight (and she says)
I don't want this night to end
Why does it have to end

Tomorrow she'll be rolling down l-10
Baton rouge lsu
Eighteen years in her rearview
He's got a friday paycheck lined up down the block
Daddy's shop
It ain't much but it's a job
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
The night before
Life goes on

Oooh
A tear falls off her cheek
Right when it hits his arm (he says)
C'mon baby
Let's get out of here
They take one last drive round town
Man it
Already looks different
He bangs the wheel says
"Life ain't fair"
This growing up stuff man I don't know
I just don't wanna let you go

Tomorrow she'll be rollin down L-10
Baton rouge lsu
Eighteen years in her rearview
He's got a friday paycheck lined up down the block
Daddy's shop
It ain't much but it's a job
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
The night before
Life goes on

That's what my mama told me
And just like those kids
I didn't wanna listen to no one
There's nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
I know how it feels
When love goes away

Tomorrow she'll be rollin down L-10
Baton rouge lsu
Eighteen years in her rearview
He's got a friday paycheck lined up down the block
Daddy's shop
It ain't much but it's a job

They've been dreadin this moment all summer long
But here it is
They don't have long
The night before
Life goes on

Yeah, yeah, yeah
