Can't Let Go of You Lyrics
Where we gonna go
I'm gassed up, I'm ready to go
Grab your jacket, Let's hit the road
We can't wait any longer, Let's go
She's looking out the window
And her baby starting to show
From five months ago
So keep driving, keep driving through the snow
I passed by my folks on side of the road, but I'm through it everyone
We can't let go, You can't let go of the wheel
And I pass by my friends on either end, But I'm through it all of them
I can't let go, We can't let go of the wheel
Hoping land for miles is nebraska in my eye
And we still crystallize
Any longer any longer
Trees and power lines are all dressed in the ice
and we're still crystallize
Keep moving keep moving through the eye
See the road swallow us whole, and we're still alive ...
But I cant let go, I cant let go of the wheel
And water break on a burning wick and douse the flame kill her quiver
We cant let go, We cant let go of eachother
Shes crying saying it's nobody's fault, shes already a pillar of salt
We're too dissolved, we're too dissolved into the road
I'm gassed up, I'm ready to go
Grab your jacket, Let's hit the road
We can't wait any longer, Let's go
And her baby starting to show
From five months ago
So keep driving, keep driving through the snow
We can't let go, You can't let go of the wheel
And I pass by my friends on either end, But I'm through it all of them
I can't let go, We can't let go of the wheel
And we still crystallize
Any longer any longer
and we're still crystallize
Keep moving keep moving through the eye
But I cant let go, I cant let go of the wheel
And water break on a burning wick and douse the flame kill her quiver
We cant let go, We cant let go of eachother
Shes crying saying it's nobody's fault, shes already a pillar of salt
We're too dissolved, we're too dissolved into the road

I think this song is about a couple leaving their hometown to live somewhere else and bear/raise their child. They have to leave everything behind and let go of everything if they can ever start their future. Unfortunately, they aren't able to do that and symbolically as well as maybe literally, the wife has a miscarriage. In the last verse the part where it says "she's already a pillar of salt" may refer to the story of Lot's Wife from the bible, who disobeyed the orders of angels who were destroying her home city while she was leaving it. They told her that she could not look back at the city while it was being burned but she did anyways, and turned into a pillar of salt. This could mean that once the miscarriage occurred, the woman in the song regretted ever leaving home.
