Lyrical Transcription: Reprinted from jumphq.com

I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Not to Detroit City
Not to Chicago

And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Not to Mississippi
Not to Tupelo

But if you're going leave
I'm asking you, please
Go all the way
To Mexico

I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave
Not with all my Django
Emmy Lou and Steve

I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave
Not with my Revival
Tucked down in the sleeve

But if you're gonna go
Take the ones you gave to me
All the way
To Mexico

All the way to the shore of California
Bay and I'll be fine
Cause I have taken you back for the last time

And I won't set you free
I won't set you free
Not to say its over
Come right back to me

But if you're gonna go
I'm giving you the key
Only if you'll go
To Mexico

All the way to the shore of California
Bay and I'll be fine
Cause I have taken you back for the last time

All the way to the shore of California
Bay and I'll be fine
Cause I have taken you back for the last time
