Testo Let it go where it's supposed to Butch Walker

Let it go where it's supposed to

I make all my best decisions for the day that lies ahead of me in the morning.
I make all the worst decisions in the evening when the poison hits my mind.
But if it's one thing that my Mama said, lock away inside my head,
I use it when I need from time to time.

Let it go where it's supposed to.
Let your life hang out the window to dry.
And if it catches the wind,
And you never see it again,
Then I guess it was probably time.

When my father had his moment back before fast food and strip malls ruled his town.
Keep the land or sell it 20 acres he had always turned it down.
But as the tractors all moved in and I watched as he pretend,
Not to show it from the inside looking out.

Let it go where it's supposed to.
Let your life hang out the window to dry.
And if it catches the wind,
And you never see it again,
Then I guess it was probably time.
Now that I'm a man myself and my father's bones are turning into dust,
I got a boy to raise through hell and just pray he turns out half the man he was.
When you're grown and think you've seen it all, nothing will prepare the fall,
Please just take these words before I'm gone.

Let it go where it's supposed to.
Let your life hang out the window to dry.
And if it catches the wind,
And you never see it again,
Then I guess it was probably time.
