There's a lotta wonder in the wondering Following the flame of a shooting star You come in like a rebel, like a renegade And leave knowing who you are Might need a pillow when the party's over At least a coffee when the sun comes up Might need to lay your burdens down In the arms of the woman you love 'Cause everybody gotta go home sometime Everybody gotta go home No matter how hard you try to hold on Sometimes you gotta let go Don't cry, goodbye's just the other side of hello So raise a glass to the time we had Everybody gotta go home Leave your cards and your money on the table Leave a mark and take a few scars You think you love her and you're gonna be faithful Forgive yourself for breaking her heart Washed in the blood of Tennessee whiskey Yeah, you feel it take away the pain It doesn't matter how long you've been walking In the pouring rain, in the pouring rain Everybody gotta go home sometime Everybody gotta go home No matter how hard you try to hold on Sometimes you gotta let go Don't cry, goodbye's just the other side of hello So raise a glass to the time we had Everybody gotta go home So hang that hat on the nail in the wall Leave the jacket on the back of that shed Give thanks for the ups and the downs of it all At the end of that prayer 'Cause everybody gotta go home sometime Everybody gotta go home No matter how hard you try to hold on Sometimes you gotta let go Don't cry, goodbye's just the other side of hello Raise a glass to the time we had Everybody gotta go home Everybody gotta go home sometime Everybody gotta go home No matter how hard you try to hold on Sometimes you gotta let go Don't cry, goodbye's just the other side of hello So raise a glass to the time we had Everybody gotta go home Everybody gotta go home Everybody gotta go Everybody gotta go
