Backstory:

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
