"Whole Lot Of Lettin' Go" lyrics - TRACY LAWRENCE

I felt the tug of the ties that bind
As I crossed that city limit sign
Drivin' past the old school reminds
Of what I had with her
A lotta roads underneath there wheels
A lotta wounds that time has healed
But time ain't changed the way I fell
Or the way things were

[Chorus:]
I've let go chasin' those long ago dreams
Turned the pages on some old memories
I've gotten over a lot of what I've been through
And I've let go of thinkin' I could ever go back
Broke the chains to ghosts from my past
When it comes to her one thing holds true
There's a whole lot of lettin' go that's left to do

I drove out to her family farm
But the live oak trees and fields were gone
Rows of houses with manicured lawns
Sat staring back at me
Just like the fire from a childhood flame
Guess we're all just victims of the winds of change
The things are, they're never the same
As the way things ought to be

[Chorus:]
And I've let go of thinkin' could never go back
Broke the chains of ghosts from my past
When it comes to her one things holds true
There's a whole lot of lettin' go that's left to do
