I Had to Let It Go Lyrics

INTRO: G
Last time I saw Laura, she was dancin' at the Mardi Gras
Every man in New Orleans was sayin' ooh la la
The way she used to love me, make a dead man walk
Tore me up just to see her move, and I loved to hear her talk
CHORUS:
I had to let it go, I had to let it go
Oh I mighta missed Heaven, but then you never know
I had to let it go, I had to let it go
Last time I saw whiskey, it was callin' out my name
I said whiskey you know I love you, but we'll never be the same
You used to take me with you thru the nights that had no end
One night when you weren't lookin, Lord I snuck around the bend
CHORUS:
I had to let it go, I had to let it go
Well that ain't the road to Heaven, that's one thing I do know
I had to let it go, I had to let it go
Last time I saw Reno, so down on my luck
I sweet talked a cocktail waitress into loanin' me a buck
By the time the night was over and I handed back the dice
Picked up my winnin's and I kissed that waitress twice
CHORUS:
I had to let it go, I had to let it go
I mighta rolled another seven, but then you never know
I had to let it go, I had to let it go
Alright let it go now
Life is just a puzzle inside a mystery
Your idea of Heaven might look like hell to me
I just keep on movin' you see I never had a choice
Singin' out these stories in this ragged down-home voice
CHORUS:
I never let it go, I never let it go
I might even get to Heaven, but then you never know
I never let it go, I never let it go
Oh no no no
I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go
I might even get to Heaven but then you never know
I never let it go, no no
