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 dont need to mess with
A guy going nowhere
She said how about Texas
He got up and shook his head then said
Aint you been listening
Its never gonna work out
And I think itd be a good time now to
Let me go
You dont need me baby
Stop holding on the way you are
Dont you know Im no good for you
And itll only break your heart
If you dont
Let me go
He said other than a dreamer
I aint 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
Let me go
You dont need me baby
Stop holding on the way you are
Dont you know I?m no good for you
And itll only break your heart
If you dont
Let me go
She said nice try
But you cant hide behind those shades there on your face
See I dont think youre all that tough
I just think youre scared of love
And I think I wont take up that much space
Let me go take me with you baby
Its so cold outside your arms
And we both know
That youre not as strong as you think you are
So let me go take me with you baby
I belong where you are
Don't you know
I'm so good for you and itll only break your heart
Down the road
Let me go
With you baby
Let me go
With you baby
Just let me go
