Life Goes On - Terri Clark

Back in 1994

I fell head over heals 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

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 ston

Hand no right to do me wron

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 mamm alwyas said that they’ll be lesson that you learn

You don’t need to know 'em all right now

But I’m learning 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 pull in the drive in his pick-up truck

I jsut smile and my good luck

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 luck it keeps going on and on and on
