Let Me Go

They were sitting on his tailgate

She was loving on his rough neck

She was talking 'bout running away

While he was piffin' on a cigarette

And just thinking...

How am I gonna say goodbye

He said, girl, you got it good here

You don't need to mess with

A guy going nowhere

She said how's about Texas

He got up and shook his head then he said

Ain't you been listening

It's never gonna work out

And I think it'd be a good time now to

Let me go

You don't need me, baby

Stop holding on the way you are

Don't you know I'm no good for you

And it'll only break your heart

If you don't

Let me go

He said other than a dreamer

I ain't nothing but a drifter

You could do a lot better

He leaned over and he kissed her

He said you got another year of college and

A good mama and a daddy

And me I got ninety-three dollars

And this old '82 Chevy

Let me go

You don't need me, baby

Stop holding on the way you are

Don't you know I'm no good for you

And it'll only break your heart

If you don't

Let me go

She said nice try but you can't hide behind

Those shades there on your face

See, I don't think you're all that tough

I just think you're scared of love

And I think I won't take up that much space

So let me go

Take me with you, baby

It's so cold outside your arms

And we both know that you're not as strong as you think you are

So let me go, take me with you baby

I belong where you are

We both know I'm so good for you

And it'll only break your heart down the road

If you don't let me go

With you, baby

Let Me Go
