Let's go! 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) 'Cause we won't be around too long Life goes on Life goes on (yeah!) 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 (yeah!) 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 'Cause we won't be around too long Life goes on (Life goes on) Life goes on (You know that life goes on) Up late facebookin', playin' could've been And starin' at an empty bed my ex-girl should've been in Thinking what I woulda done different Not a damn thing 'cause 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 an Otis Redding fan And she'll never forget it man (never) 'Cause 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) 'Cause 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 (yeah!) 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) 'Cause 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 We gotta live it up til it's gone 'Cause we won't be around too long Life goes on (life goes on) Life goes on (life goes on)
