(WORDS & MUSIC: LISA HAYES)
IT'S A STORY OF LOVE
A STORY OF LOSS
A TALE OF TOO MUCH
BUT NEVER ENOUGH
AND HOW I CARRIED MY HEART
TO WHERE THE GREEN GRASS GROWS
AND SOMEWHERE DEEP IN TEXAS
I'M GONNA LET HER GO
SEE MAYBE I CAN TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
AND BURY MY REGRETS GROWING WILD ON THE VINE
YOU SEE THEY TASTE SO SWEET WITH A BOTTLE OF WINE
BUT COME THE MORNING SUN IT'S GETTIN' HARD TO SHINE
SO I MOVED ON BUT I HAVEN'T LET GO
I'M SEARCHIN' FOR FAITH I'M HOPIN' THAT IT SHOWS
I CARRIED MY HEART TO WHERE THE GREEN GRASS GROWS
AND SOMEWHERE DEEP IN TEXAS
I'M GONNA LET HER GO
SEE I TOOK A DEEP BREATH TOOK A GOOD LOOK AROUND
I CLOSED ALL THE DOORS I NEVER MADE A SOUND
I TOOK A PIECE OF MY HEART AND LAID HER ON THE GROUND
SHE'S BURIED OUT WEST WHERE SHE WAS FOUND
AND I MOVED ON BUT I HAVEN'T LET GO
I'M GETTIN' SOME FAITH I'M HOPIN' THAT IT SHOWS
I CARRIED MY HEART TO WHERE THE GREEN GRASS GROWS
AND SOMEWHERE DEEP IN TEXAS
I'M GONNA LET HER GO
IT'S MY STORY OF LOVE MY STORY OF LOSS
MY TALE OF TOO MUCH BUT SOMEHOW NEVER ENOUGH
AND HOW I CARRIED MY HEART TO WHERE THE GREEN GRASS GROWS
AND SOMEWHERE DEEP IN TEXAS
I'M GONNA LET HER GO
