Let It Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know it's gon' hurt, yeah, I ain't gon' lie
Truth is I'm liable to cry
One foot in, one out the door
Ain't no use goin' back and forth
But if you gotta do what you gotta do
Just make sure you've thought it through
'Cause I'ma be a heart broke down and out
If you leave me, girl, don't leave me now

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let it down, let it down
Let it down on down the line
Show me a little mercy 'fore you break this heart of mine
Let it down, let it down
Let it down on down the line
If you give me 'til tomorrow, I'll be fine
(Oh, let it down)

[Verse 2]
Oh, I know your mind's made up, you're good as gone
But hold your horses, hold the phone
I'ma need a quick second to breathe
'Fore you pack your bags, just up and leave
So give me your word you ain't gon' go
Before the sun rise and the rooster crow
I know it's too late, can't make it right
What's it gonna hurt, just one more night?
[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let it down, let it down
Let it down on down the line
Show me a little mercy 'fore you break this heart of mine
Let it down, let it down
Let it down on down the line
If you give me 'til tomorrow, I'll be fine (Hey)
And I'll be fine

[Bridge]
Come on, baby, it can't be that bad
Don't you do me like this, lookin' like that
Oh, what's one more night? You got your whole life
To leave me high and dry
(Come on, now)

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let it down, let it down
Let it down on down the line
Show me a little mercy 'fore you break this heart of mine
Let it down, let it down
Let it down on down the line
If you give me 'til tomorrow, I'll be fine

[Outro]
Let it down, let it down
Let it down on down the line
(Show me a little mercy 'fore you break this heart of mine)
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine (Let it down, let it down)
(Let it down on down the line)
(If you give me 'til tomorrow, I'll be fine)
Oh, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine

Genius Answer

I remember talking to the guys and saying, “What if the verses sounded like an R&B song but then you drop to this chorus and it feels like a classic bluegrass or old country?” I’m so fascinated by that, when different genres or different worlds can come together. A lot of times, you can miss by an inch or miss by a mile and it doesn’t work. I think my whole career, I try to blend R&B and country. I can’t help but sing country at the end of the day, so even when I do R&B, I don’t really do R&B. I’m just doing a country boy’s impression a little bit. So somehow it kind of comes together.
