I Had To Let It Go

(álbum: We All Get Lucky Sometimes - 1995)

Last time I saw laura she was dancing at the mardi grass
Every man in new orleans was saying ooh la la
The way she used to love me make a dead man walk
Tore me up to just see her move and I loved to hear her talk
I had to let it go I had to let it go
Oh I might have missed heaven but then you never know
I had to let it go I had to let it go

Last time I saw whiskey it was calling out my name
Whiskey you know I loved you but we'll never be the same
You used to take me with you through the nights that had no end
One night when you weren't looking lord I snuck around the bend
I had to let it go...

Last time I saw reno so down on my luck
Sweet-talked a cocktail waitress into loaning me a buck
By the time the night was over and I handed back the dice
Picked up my winnings and I kissed that waitress twice
I had to let it go I had to let it go
I might have rolled another seven but then you never know
I had to let it go I had to let it go

Life is just a puzzle inside a mystery
Your idea of heaven might look like hell to me
I just keep on moving see I never had a choice
Singing out these stories in this ragged down home voice
I had to let it go...
Oh no no no never let it go...
