I Wouldn't Let It Go

I was just a boy

A rough and restless child

All skin and bones and thistles

A tough **** growing wild

Someday I'd be an astronaut

And make my way up to

MarsBut I was like a monkey

With my hand stuck in a jar

I was holding on to something

That I couldn't make my own

At times it seemed so hopeless

But I wouldn't let it go

No I wouldn't let it go

No I would not let it go

Once I took a penny

Placed it on the track

When the freight train flattened it

I couldn't change it back

I was never lost

In my little town

But I remember hoping

That someday

I'd be found(chorus)(chorus)
