The key's in the mailbox, the U-haul is loaded,
  This is the last time we'll call this place home.
  The cat's 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 'round 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 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
