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 dont need to mess with A guy going nowhere She said how about Texas He got up and shook his head then said Aint you been listening Its never gonna work out And I think itd be a good time now to Let me go You dont need me baby Stop holding on the way you are Dont you know Im no good for you And itll only break your heart If you dont Let me go He said other than a dreamer I aint 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 dont need me baby Stop holding on the way you are Dont you know I’m no good for you And itll only break your heart If you dont Let me go She said nice try But you cant hide behind those shades there on your face See I dont think youre all that tough I just think youre scared of love And I think I wont take up that much space Let me go take me with you baby Its so cold outside your arms And we both know That youre 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 itll only break your heart Down the road If you dont Let me go With you baby Let me go With you baby Just let me go
