Verse
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
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 rear view
He's got a Friday pay-check 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
Verse
Ooh, a tear falls off her cheek
Right when it hits his arm he says
"Come on baby, lets 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 rear view
He's got a Friday pay-check 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
Bridge
Yeah, that's what my momma 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 rear view
He's got a Friday pay-check 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
