Lyrics

I Refuse to Let It Go by Thomas Burns

I was robbed last night It was late and I was high
I gave up twenty dollars and I waved the man good-bye.
I followed him for an hour until he turned into a door
Then I stepped through right behind him
And evened out the score

Chorus:
I hate to see somebody roll like that (3x)
I refuse to let it go

I've got a friend in East St. Louis. One day he dropped a dime
Lucy'd gotten wound up with these one-time pals of mine
I wasn't sure what they were up to but I knew where each one stayed
so I paid them all a visit and I blew them all away
I hate to see somebody roll like that (3x)
I refuse to let it go

Bridge:
I tried to find you that night at Dixie's
Where that old photo's on the wall
Dirt poor and standing by the highway
Looking lost is all

I had a little place in Boise where the sun is often kind
And the hills reach for the heavens and the snow will make you blind
I thought that I'd crossed over. I thought I finally was free
'Til I saw this guy on Main Street at the same time he saw me
I hate to see somebody roll like that (3x)
I refuse to let it go
