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 puffin' 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 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
Chorus: 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.
Chorus: 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.
