Life Goes On
Larry Lynch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh you'll see my son
that life is going on
everybody told me to hang on
everything is gonna be alright
and you'll be fine my friend

When you ain't got nothing
you still got your friends
When I ain't got nobody
when you left me down on the ground

Life goes on, my life is going on
Life goes on

Maybe I should be the man
that you wanted me to be
Maybe I should have changed
and reach my personal goals

Maybe I should be the man
that you wanted to love
but you've always gone away
and you always left me

But now you're married with another man
and you left me down
crambling on the ground
on the ground
on the ground
But I loved you





Life goes on, my life is going on life goes on x5
