There Goes My Life

All he could think about was, "I'm too 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 goin' up in smoke

So much for ditchin' this town and hangin' 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 goodbye

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

Mama's waitin' to tuck her in

As she fumbles up those stairs

She smiles back at him draggin' that teddy bear

Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncin' curls

And 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 fifteen pairs of shoes

And his American Express

He checked the oil, slammed the hood

Said, "You're good to go"

She hugged them both and headed off to the west coast

And he cried, there goes my life

There goes my future, my everything

I love you, baby, goodbye

There goes my life

There goes my life

Baby, goodbye

Baby, goodbye

There goes my life
