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 don’t need to mess with A guy going nowhere She said, how about Texas He got up and shook his head then said, Ain’t you been listening It’s never gonna work out And I think it’d be a good time now to
Let me go You don’t need me baby Stop holding on the way you are Don’t you know I’m no good for you And it’ll only break your heart If you don’t Let me go
He said other than a dreamer I ain’t 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
She said nice try But you can’t hide behind those shades there on your face See I don’t think you’re all that tough I just think you’re scared of love And I think I won’t take up that much space
Let me go, take me with you baby It’s so could outside your arms And we both know That you’re not as strong as you think you are
