Lyrics
All he could think a bout was,
“I’m too (Bsus)young for this.
Got my whole life a head.
Hell, I’m
(B)just a kid my

How’m I gon na (E)raise one?”
All he could see were his dreams
go ing (B)up in smoke.
So much for ditch ing this town and hang ing out (B)on the coast.
Oh,
well,
those plans are long gone.
And he said,
“There goes
my life.
There goes
my fu ture,
my ev ’ry thing.
Might as well
(E)kiss it all good
bye.
There goes
(E)my life.”
A cou ple years of up all night and a few thou sand dia pers lat er,
that mis take he thought he made
cov ers up the re (B)frig er a tor.
Oh,
yeah,
he loves that lit (E)tle girl.
Ma ma’s wait ing to tuck her in
as she fum bles up those stairs.
She smiles back at him,
drag ging that ted (B)dy bear.
Sleep tight,
blue eyes and bounc ing curls.
And he smiles,
“There goes
my life.
There goes
my fu ture,
my ev ’ry thing.” “I love you, Dad dy, good night.”
There goes my life.
She had that Hon da load ed down
with A ber (A)crom bie clothes and (E)fif teen pairs of shoes
and his A mer i can Ex press.
He checked the oil, slammed the hood,
said, “You’re good to go.” She hugged (A)’em both
and head ed off to the (Bsus2)west
coast.
And he cried,
“There goes
my life.
There goes
my fu ture,
my ev (E)’ry thing.
I love you,

bye.”
There goes my
life.
There goes my
life.
