The Night Before (Life Goes On)
Lyrics of The Night Before (Life Goes On) by Carrie Underwood
Verse
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?"
Chorus
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
Verse
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"
Chorus
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
Bridge
Yeah, that′s what my mama 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
Chorus
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
But here it is, they don′t have long
The night before life goes on!
Outro
Yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
