The Night Before (Life Goes On)

He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
And man it already looks different
He takes off his flannel shirt
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
Ooh, a tear falls off her cheek and
"Life ain't fair and this growin' up stuff man I don't know
Slides up behind her and holds on tight
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
But here it is they don't have long
They take one last drive around town
Tomorrow shell be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge
Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge
Checkin' out the moon and the city lights

And he drapes it around her shoulders
The night before life goes on
LSU 18 years in her rear view
I didn't wanna listen to no one
LSU 18 years and hurry ya do
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
Right when it hits his arm he says
At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job
Why does it have to end?"

And just like those kids
The night before life goes on
He bangs the wheel and says

Yeah, that's what my momma told me
LSU 18 years in her rear view
The night before life goes on
And she says, "I don't want this night to end
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge
I just don't wanna let you go"

At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job
There's nothin' you can say

Yeah, there's nothin' you can do
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
And I know how it feels when love goes away
At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job
"Come on baby, lets get outta here"
