Oh when the day is gone
Oh when the nights are long
Life goes on
Life goes on
We gotta live it up til it's gone (live it up)
Cuz we won't be around too long
Life goes on
Life goes on (yea!)
Lately it seems the good dreams are few and far between
Nightmares are putting fires out with gasoline (damn)
And I'm just tryna stay righteous
Sometimes I see my own face in Christ's likeness
And apart from my life's vices, fifteen years young had
My first mid-life crisis
But it's tough to stay upright and pious when people you
Hold highest be the ones that most biased
My daddy told me misery loves company
If that's the case they must hate they ain't getting none
From me
I don't sweat it, it's embedded in my DNA
I got a good heart and bad brains BMA
Oh when the day is gone (yea!)
Oh when the nights are long (uh huh)
Life goes on (life goes on)
Life goes on (They say that life goes on. Let's go!)
We gotta live it up til it's gone
Cuz we won't be around too long
Life goes on (Life goes on)
Life goes on (You know that life goes on)
And starin at an empty bed my ex-girl should've been in
Thinking what I woulda done different
Not a damn thing cuz finally I'm done with it
Besides I got a girl that adores me
And I never take for granted all things she does for me
(Never)
I shoot the moon down and put it on a wedding band
And sing "These Arms of Mine" to her
She's Otis Redding fan
And she'll never forget it man (never)
Cuz she knows she'll never find a better man
Let's go ahead with these wedding plans
Come on, let's sing a song life goes on
Oh when the day is gone (day's gone)
Oh when the nights are long (nights are long)
Life goes on (life goes on)
Life goes on (you know that life goes on. come on!)
We gotta live it up til it's gone (live it up)
Cuz we won't be around too long
Life goes on (life goes on)
Life goes on (they say that life goes on)
You take too much for granted
(Too much. We don't want an inch we want miles)
I just can't understand it
(Can't understand it. Is it really that hard to smile?)
We don't ask, we demand it
(We demand it. It's gone when it's gone.)
And I'm tryin not to panic
(But you know what they say. Life goes on.)
Oh when the day is gone (yea!)
Oh when the nights are long
Life goes on (life goes on)
Life goes on (you know that life goes on. come on!)
We gotta live it up til it's gone (live it up)
Cuz we won't be around too long
Life goes on (life goes on)
Life goes on (life goes on)
They say that life goes on
You know that life goes on
They say that life goes on
You know that
You know that
You know that life goes on
