Let It Go Songtext
von Chris Smither

Oh man, they took my car
They rode away in my ride
I know attachment is the root of my suffering
′Cause it hurts me, it hurts me deep inside
The hole ain't in my pocket, it′s in my pride
I told the police it didn't matter, but I lied

Yeah, now my mind tells me to kill 'em
My heart tells me that′s wrong
My wife tells me "Go get a better one
It′s what you wanted all along"

I got to find a way to let this go
Got to put this behind me, you know
Let my better nature show up on top here and be alright, you know

But oh man, they took my car
Left me without my wheels
I know the loss is superficial
But that's not, that′s just not how it feels
How can something superficial feel so real?
It's an emotional blow, rocks me back on my heels


You know, I had a picture on the dashboard of my baby
In her sweet little Red Sox hat
And now there′s some little bum with a button in his tongue
Who thinks he might like a piece of that

How am I supposed to take that sitting down?
I can't do it, man
I got to get up, I got to go walk around, get me some air, you know
Stand outside, yeah, it′s alright
This is better, you know
I'll be alright in a minute

Get out of here, forget about these things
These things are insignificant, you know
It's not worthy of a man of my stature to think about things like that
It′s alright, it′s okay, man
I'm back where I belong now, forget all about it

They took my car
It′s like it vanished in the air
Three thousand pounds of wheels and sounds
That used to make folks, used to make 'em stop and stare
Now except for a little pile of glass, the pavement′s bare
I keep looking around, it keeps not being there


You know, I should have listened to my sensible self
I should have parked it in a lot
It would have cost me sixteen fifty
Instead of all the cool I got

You know, I got to reassert control
Yeah, you know
It's alright, this is like water off a duck′s back, you know
I just let it roll, let it roll
Got to let this go, you know
Don't know if I can do it
I'll try, I′ll let you know
Could′ve, should've, would′ve
How was I to know?
Nobody better say I told you so

Alright, it's okay
Can′t do nothing about it now
Just let it go, let it go, it's alright
It′s okay, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
