The Night Before (Life Goes On) - Carrie Underwood

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?"

Tomorrow, she'll be rolling down I-10, Baton Rouge, LSU

Eighteen 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

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"

Tomorrow, she'll be rolling down I-10, Baton Rouge, LSU

Eighteen 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

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

Tomorrow, she'll be rolling down I-10, Baton Rouge, LSU

Eighteen 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

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
