let me go

Lyrics

they were sitting on his tailgate, and she was lovin' on his rough neck, and she was talking about running away, and he was puffin' on a cigarette, just thinkin', how am i gonna say goodbye?, he said, girl you got it good here, and 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 nothin' but a drifter, you could do a lot better, then leaned over and he kissed her, he said you got another year of college, and a good momma and a daddy, and me, i got $93 in this old '82 chevy, so 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, ya 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, let me go, take me with you baby, it's so cold outside your arms/i belong where you are, 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, don't you 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, with you baby, just let me go
