I been caught sideways out here on the crossroads
Tryin' to buy back the pieces I lost of my soul
It's hard when the devil won't get off your back
It's like carryin' around the past in a hundred pound sack

Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
Gonna leave it all behind
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah, wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah

Skeletons and ghosts are hidin' in the shadows
Threatening me with all the things that they know
Choices and mistakes - they all know my name
I'm through holdin' in and holdin' on to all that pain

Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
Got no more tears to cry
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah, wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah

I know, I know, I know, I know I been forgiven
I know, I know, I know, I'm gonna start livin'

Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
I'm gonna leave it all behind
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah, wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh, oh, oh yeah

Oh, oh, oh yeah
