Highway girl, fifteen I needed a mother if you know what I mean Same old life, new tires And a five dollar struggle at the end of the line Well I heard what you said on the basement stairs And it left me feeling like nobody cares It sure feels shitty when you cover it up But in some part of me I am giving you love And I'm releasing Its for me I'm letting go And not completely But I wanted you to know before you go Lonely girl, bittersweet And we're right around the corner from our reckoning And in my child I see me If I knew what I was missing I would know what she needs And I heard you spent your money on leaving me out Well for some you're a blessing For me you're a drought I'd love to start over maybe begin again It's strange all the feelings that come up at the end I'm releasing It's for me I'm letting go Not completely But I wanted you to know That I'm forgiving As I'm walking down this road And I was hoping We'd find love beneath the load Before you go Before you go Before you go Before you go Before you go Before you go Before you go Before you go I'm releasing It's for me I'm letting go And not completely But I wanted you to know Before you go
