Kathy Mattea

Life As We Knew It

The key's in the mailbox the U-Haul is loaded

This is the last time we'll call this place home

The cats in a cage to leave at your mother's

I'll be halfway to Ashville when you wake up alone

It's been a while since I've seen Carolina

It always was pretty this time of year

And if this is the end of life as we knew it

You won't find me living around here

I love life as we knew it

I still can't believe we threw it away

Goodbye that's all there is to it

Life as we knew it ended today

I'll leave a number if you need to reach me

You always called when I had to be gone

I know that here in my memory

Life as we knew it still lives on

I love life as we knew it

I still can't believe we threw it away

Goodbye that's all there is to it

Life as we knew it ended today

Life as we knew it ended today
