Can't Let Go Lyrics
Told my baby one more time
Don't make me sit all alone and cry
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
I'm like a fish out of water
A cat in a tree
You don't even want to talk to me
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
See I got a candle and it burns so bright
In my window every night
Well it's over I know but I can't let go
You don't like to see me standing around
Feel like I been shot and didn't fall down
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Turn off trouble like you turn off a light
Went off and left me it just ain't right
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Round every corner something I see
Bring me right back how it used to be
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
It's over I know it but I can't let go
It's over I know it but I can't let go
It's over I know it but I can't let go
Don't make me sit all alone and cry
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
A cat in a tree
You don't even want to talk to me
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
In my window every night
Well it's over I know but I can't let go
Feel like I been shot and didn't fall down
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Went off and left me it just ain't right
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
It's over I know it but I can't let go
It's over I know it but I can't let go

The meaning is pretty obvious - this man has left her and she can't keep going back to him - but this song is aweosme. Great instrumental and lyrics.
oh man. beautiful song in heartache. my love life of the past year.
People are so frikkin lazy on the Internet...copy and paste, copy and paste....don't bother to proofread anything or go back to the original recording and check if the lyrics as transcribed are correct and heaven forbid you should use actual logic to see if the transcription makes any sense! OK, all of that preamble was just a precursor to inform all the people with tin ears out there that the expression used in this song is "PUTS me out" and not "PULL me out". Get it? Who has EVER said, of their man/woman "yeah, he totally pulled me out"? I mean, unless you were stuck in a hole or some kind of whirling vortex that they rescued you from! When would a person rejecting you ever be said to be pulling you out? If your answer was "Never" then you are way more intelligent than the apparently thousands of people who keep reproducing and sending around these WRONG lyrics to this song (which was also NOT written by Lucinda Williams, as if anyone cares...) If a human and not a robot is managing this site, then please, for the love of god would you just correct the lyrics? It goes like this:" He won't take me back when I come around / Says he's sorry then PUTS me out". The keen observer will notice that the expression to put someone out, meaning to kick em out o yer house/life/bed etc. occurs in many hundreds of blues, soul, rock, and jazz tunes. Meanwhile, the expression to pull someone out is limited to tales of people being rescued from holes and the occasional whirling vortex. Hmmmm. which do you think is more likely to have been worked into the lyrics of "Can't Let Go"? Gee whillikers, that's a real head-scratcher.....
