Never Let You Go

(album: Strange Clouds - 2012)

They can take these clothes off my back
They can take my money
Don't care about that
Let 'em take my words
They're all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know is I'll never let you go

As she takes the stand
By the look in her eyes I can tell that's she knows
That she's holding the fate of my world in her hands, damn
Fo' real
This was never the plan
It was never intended for her to end up the defendant
And I guess it just happened by chance, damn
And you hope
You hoping that a miracle happens
You pray that the Judge doesn't bang that gavel
So you can go back and avoid a disaster
And you could still be holding her hand
Like the last note of the saddest song
We're like the last word at the end of the poem
You know, there's nothing worse than being alone
It's funny how you never know what you got 'til it's gone

They can take these clothes off my back
They can take my money
Don't care about that (no)
Let 'em take my words (take my words)
It's all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know is I'll never let you go

Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go (go)
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go

What's the one thing in this life that you live for?
Who do you know in the world you would die for? (yeah)
Who would lie for? (yeah)
Who if they committed a crime you would stop on a dime and do time for? (ha)
Cuz it was me she would ride for (ride for)
And that was her that I cried for (cried for)
Now I'd give it all away to get her back
Cuz she ain't free, no, this ain't no July 4th
Yea, no, it don't sound logical (huh)
But there's some things in this life that you gotta do (god)
Brother, one thing in this world that got to you (yeah)
I'd let it all go but I ain't dropping you

They can take these clothes off my back (clothes)
They can take my money
Don't care about that (that)
Let 'em take my words
It's all I've got (It's all I've got)
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know is I'll never let you go

Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go (go)
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go

It might be wrong or it might be right
But there's no looking back and we won't sleep tonight
We're living while we're young and this is worth the fight
Even if I lost it all

They can take these clothes off my back (clothes)
They can take my money
Don't care about that (that)
Let 'em take my words
It's all I've got (It's all I've got)
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know is I'll never let you go

Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go (go)
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
Never gonna let you go
