Lyrics Tonight - The Clarks

Tonight

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
