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 am 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
He said
"There goes my life
There goes my future
and 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
Momma's waiting
to tuck her in
as she fumbles up
those stairs
She smiles back at him
dragging that teddy bear
sleep tight
With 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 fifteen pairs of shoes
And his American Express
and he checked the oil
slammed the hood
And said
"You're good to go"
she hugged them both
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
