Lyrics:

Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on
Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on

He was a company man
He put his faith in the union and his take-home pay
A good republican man
But they closed down the factory his retirement day

Life goes on whether or not there's a reason
Life goes on, enter another season

Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on
Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on

She was the pride of her dad
But she harbored a secret in her bureau drawer
And when the news was too bad
She would get into trouble with the boy next door

Life goes on whether or not there's a reason
Life goes on, enter another season

Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on
Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on

In the dead of the night
They escape to their fantasy without a sound
Her father still burns a light
But they never returned and they were never found

Life goes on whether or not there's a reason
Life goes on, life goes on
