Let You Go

Baby it cuts me to the bone how I've gotta let you go
Been following me around for way too long I've got nothing to show
You took what you wanted from that South side apartment
In Antioch 615 four years ago

It burns a hole right through my soul
How we've turned into familiar strangers that we don't know
Yeah I see you where I'm walking, and I hear you where I'm talking
But I wish you'd just let up and leave me alone
And let me let you go

West bound on 40 gets me in my feels
& gives me the chills
You're singing to Lucinda Williams
"you took my joy" "go back to Greenville"
Well be careful what you wish for
You might get what you wanted
So much for a happy ending but what a hell of an introduction

It burns a hole right through my soul
How we've turned into familiar strangers that we don't know
Yeah I see you where I'm walking,
And I hear you where I'm talking
But I wish you'd just let up and leave me alone
And let me let you go

The 'yotes keep howling and the owls keep hooting
Oooo oooooo, oooo oooooo
The cats keep prowling, and the ghosts keep booing
Booo boooooo, booo boooooo

You should be history
Why you ain't is a mystery

It burns a hole right through my soul
How we've turned into familiar strangers that we don't know
Yeah I see you where I'm walking, and I hear you where I'm talking
But I wish you'd just let up and leave me alone
And let me let you go
Let me let you go
