Carrie Underwood - Night Before (Life Goes On) Lyrics

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 rollin' 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 dreadin' this moment all summer long
The night before...
Life goes on

Oooo, 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 growin' up stuff man I don't know
I just don't wanna let you go

Tomorrow she'll be rollin' 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 its 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 in her rearview
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up, down the block
At daddy's shop
It ain't much but its 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
Yay yay yay yay yeah
