It Ain't Easy Letting Go

The sunset on that empty shotgun seat
Reminds me that these days go by so fast
Rear view mirror frames a little college town
And I can't help looking back
To the little dorm room where we unpacked your life
Empty boxes said I had to let you go
I made it to the car where I broke down 'cause I
Couldn't hold on any longer

It ain't easy letting go
When you been holding on so long
It ain't easy even though it's time
When the future calls your name child
I want you to go
Even so It ain't easy letting go

Got some time to think as these center lines
Fly by like the years that went way too fast
Gonna tap my brakes and let these memories
Slow me down and take me back
It's funny how the things I remember most
Seemed so ordinary at the time
Like a Stickman family picture on the door
Under crayon rays of sunshine

It ain't easy letting go
When you been holding on so long
It ain't easy even though it's time
When the future calls your name child
I want you to go
Even so It ain't easy letting go

On the day that you were born I was holding my breath
I've been letting go ever since with every step
And I would never hold you

Still It ain't easy letting go
When you been holding on so long
It ain't easy even though it's time
When the future calls your name child
I want you to go
Even so
Even so
When the future calls your name child
I want you to go
Even so It ain't easy letting go
It ain't easy letting go
It ain't easy letting go
