美国乡村音乐:There Goes My Life—Kenny Chesney

All he could think about was Im too young for this

Got my whole life ahead¹

hell² Im just a kid myself

how am I gonna raise one

All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke

So much for ditching³ this town and hanging out on the coast⁴

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.

Mommas 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

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 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 good-bye

there goes my life

there goes my life
