Receiving mostly favorable reviews, Life Goes On became Clark's last top ten album on the Top Country Albums chart and final entry on the Billboard 200. The album spawned three singles, only one of which ("She Didn't Have Time") entered the Hot Country Songs chart. Two other singles were released, "Damn Right" and "Slow News Day", with the former failing to enter any charts and the latter becoming a top-twenty Canadian country hit.
Before it was delayed, Honky Tonk Songs had a near similar track list:
"Last Good Time" and "The World Needs a Drink" were both scrapped from the record, with "She Didn't Have Time" and "Not Enough Tequila" replacing the songs.
When the album was originally titled Honky Tonk Songs, the song "The World Needs a Drink" (credited on its chart run as "I Think The World Needs a Drink") was released on October 4, 2004 to country radio.[3] The song was released quickly after Clark's previous single "Girls Lie Too" from her greatest hits album went number one on the Hot Country Songs chart (then known as "Hot Country Singles & Tracks"). The song debuted on the Hot Country Songs chart the week of November 20, 2004 at number 44, the "Hot Shot Debut" of the week.[4] The song later rose to a peak of number 26 on February 19, 2005, spending two weeks at the spot; the song spent 19 weeks in total.
"She Didn't Have Time" would be serviced as the official lead single from the album on July 18, 2005. It also would debut at number 44, tying "The World Needs a Drink". It would peak at number 25 on the Hot Country Songs chart while also peaking at number 15 on the Radio & Records Canada Country and Bubbling Under Hot 100. "Damn Right" would be serviced on February 6, 2006 as the second single. It failed to enter Hot Country Songs, although it did briefly chart on the Radio & Records Country Indicator chart at number 47.[5] The third and final single, "Slow News Day" was commissioned only to Canadian country radio in May 2006; it would also be Clark's final single for the label before leaving in mid-2006. It debuted at number 28 on May 12, 2006.[6] It would go on to peak at number 12, becoming the highest peaking single from the album.[7]
