Lyric Life Goes On

(Bob DiPiero & Karyn Rochelle)

Back in 1994
I fell head over heels for the boy next door
I prayed every night and day
That God would turn his head my way
Graduation he moved on
Broke my heart like a country song
Must have cried two rivers long.

Chorus:
Oh, but life goes on
And before too long
You figure out you re right where you belong
It s sad and it s sweet
But if you re lucky it keeps going on and on and on.

Then came 1999
My heart broke for the second time
Left me cryin on the steps
Burned me down like a cigarette
Just like that and he was gone
My heart sunk like a ten pound stone
Had no right to do me wrong.

Chorus:
Oh, but life goes on
And before too long
You figure out you re right where you belong
It s sad and it s sweet
But if you re lucky it keeps going on and on and on.

My mama always said that they ll be lessons that you learn
You don t need to know em all right now
But I m learnin as I go
And the more I learn I know
The less I want to know anyhow.

I finally found my whole world
Little boy and a little girl
Got me a man with a heart of gold
It all came back a hundred fold
And I watch the gravel kickin up
As he pulls in the drive in his pick-up truck
I just smile at my good luck.

Chorus:
Oh, but life goes on
And before too long
You figure out you re right where you belong
It s sad and it s sweet
But if you re lucky it keeps going on and on and on...
