Never Let Go

Larry Jones keeps a chip on his shoulder

It gets heavier and heavier as he gets older

He’ll let everyone know, who’ll lend him an ear

He gets a little louder with (each and) every beer

He can never let go, never let go

He could never let go of that heavy load

Mary Sue never did like school

When she thinks of it now, she still feels the fool

Her little daughter is shy to tell the things she learns

A case of once bitten, twice burned

She can never let go, never let go

She could never let go of that heavy load

Too late we learn, we do it to ourselves

When the things that hurt us are the things we held

And, never let go

Jerry Rose had no time for his dad

His heart still aches for those few good times they had

He turned it all into anger, to shut out the pain

But it comes back to him, again and again

He can never let go, never let go

He could never let go of that heavy load

Too late we learn, we do it to ourselves

When the things that hurt us are the things we held

And, never let go
