Everybody Gotta Go Home

(album: 52 ATL x BNA - 2022)

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
