There Goes My Life – Kenny Chesney

“There Goes My Life”


All he could think about was I’m to young for this

Got my whole life ahead

Hell I’m just a kid myself

How’m 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


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.


Momma’s waiting to tuck her in

As she stumbles 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 the both and headed off to the west coast


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

Baby good-bye
