The Night Before (Life Goes On)

There's nothin' you can say

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

Yeah, that's what my momma told me
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
And she says, "I don't want this night to end
And just like those kids
He bangs the wheel and says
And man it already looks different
"Life ain't fair and this growin' up stuff man I don't know
At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job
LSU 18 years in her rear view
Ooh, a tear falls off her cheek and
Slides up behind her and holds on tight
"Come on baby, lets get outta here"
And he drapes it around her shoulders
Why does it have to end?"
LSU 18 years in her rear view
Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge
They take one last drive around town
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
The night before life goes on
LSU 18 years and hurry ya do
Tomorrow shell be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge
Yeah, there's nothin' you can do
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
The night before life goes on

At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job
He takes off his flannel shirt
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long

He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job

Checkin' out the moon and the city lights
I didn't wanna listen to no one
I just don't wanna let you go"
Right when it hits his arm he says
But here it is they don't have long
The night before life goes on
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
And I know how it feels when love goes away
