Let Me Go Lyrics - Growing Up Is Getting Old - Jason Michael Carroll

They were sittin' on his tailgate 

She was lovin' on his roughneck 

She was talkin' 'bout runnin' away 

While he was puffin' on a cigarette 

And just thinkin' 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's about Texas? 

He got up and shook his head then he said 

Ain't ya been listenin'? 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 holdin' 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'd got another year of college 

And a good momma and a daddy 

And me I got 93 dollars and this old '82 Chevy 

So let me go, you don't need me, baby 

Stop holdin' 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 ya, 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 ya, baby 

I'm 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 ya, baby, let me go
