Americana (Letting Her Go)

She was into Americana

Liked the songs about guns and danger

Everybody here

Would have killed to get the chance to meet her

We had our fun, but she's done with this game

She's on the run, but here I remain

She wanted trouble, wanted drama

She couldn't wait to get away and make her escape

Always aimed a little higher

Ain't nobody on this earth could have made her stay

In this place, rolling stones gather pace

I couldn't keep up, now she's gone without a trace

I shiver inside

Gotta swallow my pride

Gotta let her go now

I'm letting her go

It's seven years later

Still tryna write a song that fills her space

Gone through forests of paper

Found no words that could replace

Her voice in my mind echoes louder each day

Just let me leave, 'cause you know I can't stay

I shiver inside

Gotta swallow my pride

Gotta let her go now

I'm letting her go

I shiver inside

Gotta swallow my pride

Gotta let her go now

I'm letting her go

She was into Americana

Liked the songs about guns and danger
