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
