Lyrics

Up all night, pen to paper Four page letter, should've known better Than to think you would read it Guess I wanted you to know I didn't want to let you go Been dreadin' this day since the day you told me That director called, said he liked your pictures And he wanted to meet you I died the day I said to you You gotta do whatcha gotta do CHORUS I can't stop you You're a wheel already rollin' I can't keep you You're a bird on a wing, you're about to fly I can't hold you You were never mine to hold Guess I gotta let you go, let you go, let you go Heaven knows I don't wanna let you go But I can't stop you Rubber to road, pedal to metal Couldn't care less, halfway to memphis When the blue lights slowed me down State trooper said ninety-one Who the hell you chasin' son I told him all about your angel face Your green-eyed dreams, your head-strong ways He took my license and ran my plates I counted eighty-four trucks go by And on that Shoulder I began to cry CHORUS It finally hit me you were gone Just outside Jackson on the drive back home CHORUS
