Tonight - The Clarks

I’ve just begun to understand

I’m 23 and in my hand

I hold responsibility

To my friends and my family

I’ve just begun to understand

This boy is gonna be a man

This life, you’ll see

That nothing’s gonna come for free

This life, you’ll find

That nothing’s gonna change your mind

Tonight, tonight

I’ve just begun to know for sure

I’m 33 and in my store

I stock the shelves with dignity

For myself and my community

I’ve just begun to know for sure

That girl deserves a whole lot more

This life, you’ll see

That nothing’s gonna come for free

This life, you’ll find

That nothing’s gonna change your mind

Tonight, tonight

I’m leaving town today

I don’t know what to say

It’s all part of the plan

I leave it up to you

Don’t know what to do

I leave it in your hands

I’ve just begun to understand

I’m 43, I own this land

I share responsibility

With my wife for our posterity

I’ve just begun to understand

What it means to be a working man

This life, you’ll find

Just looking for some peace of mind

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
