I never wrote a song starting with the chorus and I thought this song was well suited for such a treatment. My hope is that a very strong vocal country group would consider doing it. Domestic abuse is a chronic problem everywhere. This was my attempt to localize it.

Lyrics

HE’LL NEVER LET HER GO She can’t get away He’ll never let her go She has a man who has to control He’ll never let her go She met him at the county fair On an August afternoon She was smitten by his charm He promised her the stars and the moon He bought her cotton candy They pitched pennies in a wishing well She didn’t know what she was getting into She was headed for a lifetime of hell She can’t get away He’ll never let her go She has a man who has to control He’ll never let her go They got married in Wisconsin On a cold and wintry night Life was good for about a year Then all they ever did was fight One day without a warning She felt the fury of his rage Now she can’t look him in the eyes She wants to run but she’s too afraid She can’t get away He’ll never let her go She has a man who has to control He’ll never let her go How could love be so blind There were signs along the way She really didn’t want to see them She was praying things would work out ok He’ll never let her go
