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

 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
