Let go

from Back of the line by Robin Auld

about

Like Alice I give myself very good advice, but I very rarely take it.

lyrics

Let go, you gotta let go
every now and then mama
you got to let go
Iffen you don't know where the hell you are
fall back into the arms of your everlovin' star
every now and then mama
you got to let go

Was taking the 'tail down in a rusty van
broke down two days in the baking sand
got to the end of the 2nd day
I took the whole stinking mess and I threw it away
Let go, you gotta let go
every now and then mama
you got to let go
Iffen you don't where to begin
fall back into the arms of the everlovin' wind
every now and then mama
you got to let go

You never just ask and you never just say
but I give you an answer anyway
Did I ever give you cause for doubt
I say woah girl you gonna wear yourself out.
I know you and you ain't sweet
silver wings on your baby doll feet
look like the river gonna carry you away
I say now's not the time to seize the day

Let go, you gotta let go
every now and then mama
you got to let go
Iffen you don't know where the hell you are
fall back into the arms of your everlovin' star
every now and then mama
you got to let go

I was shocked down to the core
when I saw the suitcase by the door
Nothing particular she had to say
she turned on her heel and she walked away

Let go, she had to let go
every now and then mama
you got to let go
Iffen you don't where to begin
fall back into the arms of the everlovin' wind
every now and then mama
you got to let go
