Life Goes On

Married so young with their whole lives ahead
Living and loving where their hearts lead
They first had a son and then a daughter
An afternoon drive just mom and the kids
Violin in the back on their way back to him
When he heard the call on the shortwave
A drunk blew a stop sign at top speed
In the blink of an eye he lost his family

Life goes on
Even when you don't want it to
Like the mighty current moving the river through this town
Life goes on in those relentless hands of time
At first they drag ya
And then they heal ya as they go round and round
Life goes on

It's a God awful sound to hear a mamma cry
For her daughter and two grand babies
My God they're just babies
And you don't know whether to sob or to yell
When you're walking through your own living hell
Cause your worst nightmare well it just found ya
As you do your best just trying to breathe
In that moment it's hard to believe that

Life goes on
Even when you don't want it to
Like the mighty current moving the river through this town
Life goes on in those relentless hands of time
At first they drag ya
And then they heal ya as they go round and round
Life goes on

That's almost 20 years ago now
But I close my eyes and I'm right back at that night
Standing there
Since that day I've had a wife and a kids
And so has my friend guess life moved on like they said it would
Yeah he's doing okay
Sometimes we all wish we could go back
To a different time and place
But the things that break us also shape us
And there's no other way

Life goes on
Even when you don't want it to
Like the mighty current moving the river through this town
Life goes on in those relentless hands of time
At first they drag ya
And then they heal ya as they go round and round
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on and on and on and on and on
Life goes on
