lyrics

GOTTA LET GO
Chantell and Matt Wagner / Pryor Baird

He’s been waitin on this day since he was 8 years old
Soaked up every army story his daddy ever told
He couldn’t wait to wear those shiny medals made of gold
But before you move on, you gotta let go

Had dreams to make the world a better place
Some of them he met while others drifted off in space
It’s like they waved the checkered flag before he finished the race
But before you move on, you gotta let go

Just let go and let your spirit free
Don't hold on to the misery
Of what went wrong so long ago
Before you move on, you gotta let go

What do you do when your life feels like a compass
Ain't got no purpose and there ain’t nowhere to go
Yeah sometimes life gets crazy but if there's one thing I know
Before you move on, you gotta let go

Just let go and let your spirit free
Don't hold on to the misery
Of what went wrong so long ago
Before you move on, you gotta let go

Let go of the rains
Let go of the pain
That your puttin yourself through
If I can do it, hey buddy you can too

Just let go and let your spirit free
Don't hold on to the misery
Of what went wrong so long ago
Before you move on, you gotta let go
