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 dont want this night to end
Why does it have to end?

Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10
Baton Rouge, LSU, 18 years in her rearview
He's got a friday paycheck lined up down the block at daddies 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 and
Right when it hits his arm he says
Come on baby
Let's get outta 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 dont wanna let you go

Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10 
Baton Rouge, LSU, 18 years in her rearview
He's got a friday paycheck lined up down the block at daddies 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, thats what my mamma 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, 18 years and hurry you do
He's got a friday paycheck lined up down the block at daddies 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
