It seems the day that your house burned to the ground
Was the day that you`d always planned to leave anyway
And the vast empire you come through to get here
Makes the world look like pennies in my hand
I`ll never let go
I`ll never let go you said out loud
I`ll never let go
I`ll never let go you shouted out
Your words shook me right out of a daydream
I was lost somewhere cold and it looked haunted
I was asking strangers but no one understood me
I was drenched in sweat when your words came to me
I`ll never let go
I`ll never let go you said out loud
I`ll never let go
I`ll never let go you shouted out
It was the last highway you would ever travel
The long road from a daughter, wife and son
When the bus stopped a beat from California
Your tired feet they ached over the road
I`ll never let go
I`ll never let go you said out loud
I`ll never let go
I`ll never let go you shouted out
