There Goes My Life

There goes my life

By: Kenny Chesney

(Not mine)

 

All he could think about was I'm to young for this 
Got my whole life ahead 
Hell I'm just a kid myself 
How'm I gonna raise one All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke 
So much for ditching this town and hanging out on the coast 
Oh well, those plans are long gone And he said 
There goes my life 
There goes my future, my everything 
Might as well kiss it all good-bye 
There goes my life A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later 
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator 
Oh yeah, he loves that little girl. Momma's waiting to tuck her in 
As she stumbles up those stairs 
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear 
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncing curls He smiles 
There goes my life 
There goes my future my everything 
I love you, daddy goodnight 
There goes my life She had that Honda loaded down 
With Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American express 
He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said your good to go 
She hugged the both and headed off to the west coast He cried 
There goes my life 
There goes my future, my everything 
I love you 
Baby good-bye There goes my life
There goes my life
Baby good-bye
