Let ’Em Go

Hey mother dear, whatever happened to your boy
That life he's living, ain't the one that you enjoy
Do you remember when you brought him home
You've got to realize he's better off alone

Yeah, you got to understand
Yeah, his life's in his hands
He's got a good head, on his shoulders
He's got a good head, on his shoulders
On his shoulders
He's got a good head, on his shoulders

Hey father man, what about your little girl
She grown up so fast, put your head all in a whirl
Do you remember the day you brought her home
You got to realize she's better on her own

Yeah, you got to understand
Yeah, his life's in her hands
She's got a good head, on her shoulders
She's got a good head, on her shoulders
On her shoulders
She's got a good head, on her shoulders

Let 'em go! Let 'em go! Let 'em go!
Go!

Let 'em go! Let 'em go! Let 'em go!

Hey little thing, well now that you are grown
That living's easy, 'cause you're living on your own
Will you remember everything you learned
Just do the right thing and you'll get what you deserve

Yeah, you got to understand
Yeah, your life's in your hands
You got a good head, on your shoulders
You got a good head, on your shoulders
On your shoulders
You got a good head, on your shoulders
