I Had To Let It Go
Last time i saw laura she was dancing at the mardi grass
Every man in new orleans was saying ooh la la
The way she used to love me make a dead man walk
Tore me up to just see her move and i loved to hear her talk
I had to let it go i had to let it go
Oh i might have missed heaven but then you never know
I had to let it go i had to let it go
Last time i saw whiskey it was callin' out my name
Whiskey you know i loved you but we'll never be the same
You used to take me with you through the nights that had no end
One night when you weren't looking lord i snuck around the bend
I had to let it go...
Last time i saw reno so down on my luck
Sweet-talked a cocktail waitress into loanin' me a buck
By the time the night was over and i handed back the dice
Picked up my winnings and i kissed that waitress twice
I had to let it go i had to let it go
I might have rolled another seven but then you never know
I had to let it go i had to let it go
[ guitar ]
Life is just a puzzle inside a mystery
Your idea of heaven might look like hell to me
I just keep on moving see i never had a choice
Singing out these stories in this ragged down home voice
I had to let it go...
Oh no no no never let it go...
Every man in new orleans was saying ooh la la
The way she used to love me make a dead man walk
Tore me up to just see her move and i loved to hear her talk
I had to let it go i had to let it go
Oh i might have missed heaven but then you never know
I had to let it go i had to let it go
Last time i saw whiskey it was callin' out my name
Whiskey you know i loved you but we'll never be the same
You used to take me with you through the nights that had no end
One night when you weren't looking lord i snuck around the bend
I had to let it go...
Last time i saw reno so down on my luck
Sweet-talked a cocktail waitress into loanin' me a buck
By the time the night was over and i handed back the dice
Picked up my winnings and i kissed that waitress twice
I had to let it go i had to let it go
I might have rolled another seven but then you never know
I had to let it go i had to let it go
[ guitar ]
Life is just a puzzle inside a mystery
Your idea of heaven might look like hell to me
I just keep on moving see i never had a choice
Singing out these stories in this ragged down home voice
I had to let it go...
Oh no no no never let it go...
