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

He takes off his flannel shirt

And he 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 I-10

Baton Rouge, LSU

18 years in her rearview

He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block

At 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

Ooh

A tear falls off her cheek and

Right when it hits his arm, he says

"Come on baby, let's get out of here"

They take one last drive around town

And man, it already looks different

He bangs the wheel and says "life ain't fair"

And this growing up stuff man, I don't know

I just don't wanna let you go"

Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10

Baton Rouge, LSU

18 years in her rearview

He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block

At 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

Yeah, that's what my momma told me

And just like those kids

I didn't wanna listen to no one

Yeah, there's nothing you can do

There's nothing you can say

And I know how it feels when love goes away

Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10

Baton Rouge LSU

18 years in her rearview

He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block

At daddy's shop

It is not much, but it's a job

They've been dreading this moment all summer long

But here it is, they don't have long

The night before life goes on

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
