The night before(life goes on)

by Kristen   Feb 26, 2007


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 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 shell be Rollin down i
10 baton rouge
ls
18 years and hurry ya do
hes got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
at daddies shop
it ain't much but its a job
they've been dreading this moment all summer long
the night before
life goes on

a tear falls off her cheek and
right when it hits his arm he says
come on baby
lets get Uta 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

thats what my momma told me
and just like those kids
i didn't wanna listen to no one
yea theres nothing you can do
theres nothing you can say
and i know how it feels when love goes away
