Let Me Go

They were sitting on his tailgate

She was loving on his rough neck

She was talking ' bout running away

He was puffing on a cigarette

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 how about Texas

He got up and shook his head then 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 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 93 dollars

And this old 82 Chevy

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

Let me go take me with you baby

It ' s so could outside your arms

And we both know

That you ' re not as strong as you think you are

Let me go take me with you 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

Let me go with you baby

Let me go with you baby

Let me go
