There Goes My Life

[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
All he could see were his dreams
Going up in smoke
So much for ditching this town
And hangin' out on the coast
Oh well
Those plans are long gone, and he said

[Chorus]
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
Might as well kiss it all goodbye
There goes my life

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Mama's waiting to tuck her in
As she fumbles up those stairs
She smiles back at him
Dragging that teddy bear
Sleep tight
Blue eyes and bouncing curls

[Chorus]
He smiles, there goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
I love you, daddy, goodnight
There goes my life

[Bridge]
She had that Honda loaded down
With Abercrombie clothes and fifteen pairs of shoes
And his American Express
He checked the oil and slammed the hood
Said, "You're good to go"
She hugged them both and headed off to the West Coast

[Chorus]
And he cried, "There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
I love you, baby, goodbye"
There goes my life

[Outro]
There goes my life
Baby, goodbye
Baby, goodbye
There goes my life
