Let Me Go Lyrics

They were sittin' on his tailgate
She was lovin' on his roughneck
She was talkin' 'bout runnin' away
While he was puffin' on a cigarette
And just thinkin' how am I gonna say goodbyeHe 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 ya been listenin'? It's never gonna work out
And I think it'd be a good time nowTo let me go, you don't need me, baby
Stop holdin' 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 goHe said other than a dreamer
I ain't nothing but a drifter
You could do a lot better
He leaned over and he kissed herHe said you'd got another year of college
And a good momma and a daddy
And me I got 93 dollars and this old '82 ChevySo let me go, you don't need me, baby

Stop holdin' 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 goShe 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 spaceSo let me go, take me with ya, baby
It's so cold outside your arms
And we both know that you're not as strong
As you think you areSo let me go, take me with ya, baby
I'm 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 ya, baby, let me go
