(Casey Beathard / Tom Shapiro)



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



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 93 dollars

And this old 82 Chevy



Repeat Chorus.



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



Repeat Chorus.
