She turned 21 in April,
|
You know her birthday's the same as mine
|
When we first met she'd never left Texas
|
She was young and so confused
|
She got caught up in the bright lights
|
The whiskey, pills and all those late nights
|
From the mountain where we standing,
|
She fell so far that she could not see
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I was angry when I woke up
|
When I found out that we broke up
|
She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun
|
She left a letter on the table,
|
Said catch me if you're able
|
But I'll be moving fast and I'm still hard to find
|
So I wont call you and I wont follow
|
Cause the truth is hard to swallow
|
Said I'd pick you up, but I'd only let you down.
|
|
Heard from a friend you moved back to Corpus
|
You always loved that ocean air
|
I know that you know that I'm headed down that way
|
Don't worry cause I wont call
|
It'd be strange for me to see you
|
You know there's so much left unsaid
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Said I'd pick you up but I'd only let you down
|
|
Wrote you a letter while in Corpus
|
It took everything I had
|
Went down to the pier and looked out across that bay
|
Took that letter then I watched it burn away
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Said I'd pick you up but I'd only let you down
|

Let You Down
