The Night Before (Life Goes On) Songtext / Lyric

Sittin' up on the roof

Sneakin' a smoke by the chimney

Checkin' 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 rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge

LSU 18 years in her rear view

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 dreadin' 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, lets get outta 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 growin' up stuff man I don't know

I just don't wanna let you go"



Tomorrow shell be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge

LSU 18 years in her rear view

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 dreadin' 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 nothin' you can do

There's nothin' you can say

And I know how it feels when love goes away



Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge

LSU 18 years and hurry ya do

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 dreadin' 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
