He worried how he'd take it, when he said 'can't go'
Thought he'd do some yellin'; spend some sleepless nights.
But he had no idea, when he hit the road,
That without him there in his life, he'd let himself go.
Let himself go down to Mexico,
To party once, with boys he don't know.
Let himself go to the rodeo:
A week on the circuit came back with a broken nose
When he said he it'll be right before the snow,
He let himself go.
He poured his heart and soul into their love affair,
Spent his days lovin' Ennis, ridin' his mare
Then that day he told him, it'll be awhile,
And without him there to stop him, he let himself go
Let himself go on a secret date,
Had a pretty good time with a friend at the lake.
Let himself go, missin Ennis Del Mar,
Drove up to the point, he always said was too far,
Where bluebirds sing n a whiskey spring…
Let himself go down to Mexico,
To party once, with boys he don't know.
Let himself go to the rodeo:
A week on the circuit came back with a broken nose
When he said it'll be right before the snow,
He let himself go.
To party once: circuit, Rodeo
Came back broken souled.
