They've been together now for 18 years
And every growin' pain has led them here
She's packed up that last box in ole Chevrolet
Her mamma says Tennessee seems so far away
And it's the first time she's seen her daddy cry
Everybody's gotta go sometime
Everybody's gotta cross that line
Even though good-bye wont 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 a love note in her dresser drawer
Right then he forgot what he was lookin' 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
All we really know for sure, is nothin' stays the same
Don't be frightened by the winds of change
Everybody's gotta go sometime Everybody's gotta go sometime
