Everybody's Gotta Go Sometime

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



(CHORUS)

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
