Life As We Knew It Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

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
