Lyrics
YOU LET ME GO
by Betsy Walter & Ron Fendel
You know for me it's sing, or die
So you step up and pay, the price
You lay out all my rhinestone shirts
My hat and boots for all they're worth
With a goodbye kiss and 'n I love you
You hand me my tried and true guitar
This great guitar
So I can go and chase that star
YOU LET ME GO
YOU LET ME FLY
OFF TO TULSA OR DOWN TO SAN ANTON'
NEVER ASKING WHY
ON JUST MY WORD
THIS SINGING BIRD
WILL FIND HIS WAY BACK HOME
YOU LET ME GO
YOU LET ME GO
Out on that road can get me down
Cheap motels in endless towns
Then my thoughts all turn to you
It changes my whole attitude
The roaring crowd becomes my friend
I go on stage and share with them your songs
You write these songs
So I can take your love along
YOU LET ME GO
YOU LET ME FLY
OFF TO TULSA OR DOWN TO SAN ANTON'
NEVER ASKING WHY
ON JUST MY WORD
THIS SINGING BIRD
WILL FIND HIS WAY BACK HOME
YOU LET ME GO
YOU LET ME GO
I take my bows, I tell the crowd, the real star of the show
Is my lovin' green-eyed girl back home
YOU LET ME GO
YOU LET ME FLY
OFF TO TULSA OR DOWN TO SAN ANTON'
NEVER ASKING WHY
ON JUST MY WORD
THIS SINGING BIRD
WILL FIND HIS WAY BACK HOME
YOU LET ME GO
YOU LET ME GO
You let me go
You let me go
