"The Night Before (Life Goes On)" lyrics - CARRIE UNDERWOOD

Sitting up on the roof sneaking a smoke by the chimney
Checking out the moon and the city lights
Takes off his flannel shirt 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 eighteen years in her rear view
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up
Down the block 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

A tear falls off her cheek right when it hits his arm (he says)
C 'mon baby let's get out of here
They take one last drive round town man it already looks different
He bangs the wheel says "Life Ain't Fair"
This growing up stuff man I don't know... just don't wanna let you go

Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10
Baton Rouge LSU eighteen years in her rear view
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up
Down the block 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

That's what my mama told me and just like those kids I didn't
I didn't wanna listen to no one
There's nothing you can do nothing you can say I know how it feels
When love goes away

Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10
Baton Rouge LSU eighteen years in her rear view
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up
Down the block 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
