She Let Herself Go

(Kerry Kurt Phillips, Dean Dillon)



He wondered how she'd take it

When he said goodbye

Thought she might do some cryin'

Lose some sleep at night

But he had no idea

When he hit the road

That without him in her life

She'd let herself go.



Chorus:

Let herself go on a single's cruise

To Vegas once, then to Honolulu

Let herself go to New York City

A week at the spa,

Came back knocked-out pretty

When he said he didn't love her no more

She let herself go.



She poured her heart and soul into their three-bedroom ranch

Spent her days raisin' babies, ironin' his pants

Came home one day from the grocery store

And found his note

And without him there to stop her

She let herself go.



Let herself go on her first blind date

Had the time of her life

With some friends at the lake

Let herself go buy a brand new car

Drove down to the beach

He always said was too far

Sand sure felt good between her toes.



Chorus:

She let herself go on a single's cruise

To Vegas once, then to Honolulu

Let herself go to New York City

A week at the spa,

Came back knocked-out pretty

When he said he didn't love her no more

She let herself go.



To Vegas once, Honolulu, New York City

Came back knocked-out pretty...
