Kenny Chesney & Wendell Mobley - There Goes My Life

This song right here was nominated for Song of the Year a couple years ago. We got all dressed up and went to Vegas. I think we lost to another Kenny Chesney song, actually. Is that possible? I will tell you that I remember the first time I heard this song and my producer, Buddy Cannon, we were not in his Cadillac, Craig, but we were in his truck. He goes, you got to hear something. He played me this song and the first words out of my mouth were, are you sure that we can record this song? Because I knew it was one of those songs that you just don't come across every day. As a songwriter, this is the best bridge to any song I've ever heard. This bridge kills me. I cry when he sings it. So this song right here, I just want you guys to know, I think it might have been the first single off of the When the Sun Goes Down record. But I remember sitting in Buddy Cannon's truck, hearing this song, and it was just, I couldn't believe that I was the guy that got to go out and sing this song every night for the rest of my life. That's how much I love this song. Help me out, Kenny. All he could think about was I'm too young for this Got my whole life ahead Hell, I'm just a kid myself How am I going to raise one? See, that's already a great song. All he could see were his dreams Going up in smoke So much for ditching this town Hanging out on the coast Oh, well, those plans are long gone He said, there goes my life My future, my everything Kiss it all goodbye There goes my life A couple years I'm up on down A few thousand diapers later That mistake he thought he made Covers up the refrigerator And he loves that little girl Tried to tuck her in As she fumbled off the stairs She smiled back at him Dragging that teddy bear sleeve tight Blue eyes and bouncy curls And he smiled There goes my life My future, my everything She had that heart With Abercrombie clothes Fifteen pairs of shoes In his American Express He checked the oil Slammed the hood Said, you're good to go She hugged them both And headed off to the West Cold Baby, goodbye There goes my life
