| They’ve been together now for eighteen years
|
| And every growin' pain has led them here
|
| She’s packed up that last box in her old Chevrolet
|
| Her mama says Tennessee seems so far away
|
| And it’s the first time she’s seen her daddy cry
|
| But everybody’s gotta go sometime
|
| Everbody’s gotta cross that line
|
| Even though goodbye won’t come easy
|
| Leave a little bit of love behind
|
| It takes a lot of faith to find
|
| The strength to walk away freely
|
| Everybody’s gotta go sometime
|
| He found the love note in her dresser drawer
|
| Right then he forgot what he was looking for
|
| A decade of trust just went down the drain
|
| She choked on her words when she tried to explain
|
| And as he walked away, she begged him to stay
|
| (REPEAT CHORUS)
|
| All we really know for sure is nothing stays the same
|
| Don’t be frightened by the winds of change
|
| (REPEAT CHORUS)
|
| Everybody’s gotta go sometime
|
| Everybody’s gotta go sometime |
