Off He Goes

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 shell be rollin' down

I-10 Baton Rouge

LSU

18 years in her rear view

He's got a friday paycheck lined up down the block

At daddy's shop

It aint much but its a job

They've been dreadin this moment all summer long

The night before

Life goes on

Oooh

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 growin up stuff man I dont know

I just dont wanna let you go

Yeah thats what my momma told me

And just like those kids

I didnt wanna listen to no one

Yeah theres nothing you can do

There's nothing you can say

And I know how it feels when love goes away

But here it is

They dont have long

Yeah e yeah e yeah e yeah e yeahhhh
