I felt the tug of the ties that bind as I crossed that city limit sign
|
Drivin' past that old school reminds me of what I had with her
|
A lotta roads underneath these wheels a lotta wounds that time has healed
|
But time ain't changed the way I feel or the way things were
|
I've let go of chasin' those long ago dreams
|
Turned the pages on some old memories
|
I've gotten over a lot of what I've been through
|
And I've let go of thinking I could never go back
|
Broke the chains of ghosts from my past
|
When it comes to her one thing holds true
|
There's a whole lot of lettin' go that's left to do
|
|
I drove out to her family farm but the live oak trees and fields were gone
|
Rows of houses with manicured lawns sat staring back at me
|
Just like the fire from a childhood flame
|
Guess we're all just victims of the winds of change
|
The way things are they're never the same as the way things ought to be
|
I've let go of chasin'...

|
And I've let go of thinkin'...

[ steel ]

Whole Lot Of Lettin' Go
