Lettin' Go

(album: No Place To Run - 1980)

I'm letting go now
Don't think, I can last
I'm letting go now
I've been living too fast

I'm not up in the morning
And beat the clock at night
It's got so damn predictable
Feel I'm doing time

Oh no, I can't stand another day
I see those gates are closing, caught in the ricochet
Oh no, my life's in miniature, I'll be here forever
How much more can a poor boy take
When all he needs is an even break?

I'm letting go now
Work is driving me crazy
Letting go now
Take a lot to save me

Started when I was sixteen
It's been just like a drug
I'm working every day
You'd think, I was in love

Oh no, I can't stand another day
I see the gates are closing, caught in the ricochet
Oh no, my life's in miniature, I'll be here forever
How much more can a poor boy take
When all he needs is an even break?

I'm letting go now
Don't think I can last
I'm letting go now
I've been living too fast
