[Verse 1]
Rust on the fender
Coffee in a paper cup
Four wheels clawing through December
You were the only one I trusted up
Cold air in the vents
Laughing while the back roads froze
You carried every secret
Now you’re riding with some stranger, I suppose
[Chorus]
Old Betsy in the snow
Headlights cutting through the dark years ago
I let you go, but I’m still holding on
Keys changed hands, but the hurt stays strong
Old Betsy in the snow
I sold you off, and I sold my soul
It’s hard, it’s hard, just letting go
[Verse 2]
Signed my name on that line
Tried to say it didn’t mean a thing
But every dent, every burn in the seat
Is a memory that still stings
They drove you out of town
Tail lights fading like a bad goodbye
Now every empty driveway
Feels like a place my heart went to die
[Chorus]
Old Betsy in the snow
Headlights cutting through the dark years ago
I let you go, but I’m still holding on
Keys changed hands, but the hurt stays strong
Old Betsy in the snow
I sold you off, and I sold my soul
It’s hard, it’s hard, just letting go
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re out there
On some new frozen road
Spinning up white ghosts
For someone else to hold (yeah)
[Chorus]
Old Betsy in the snow
Headlights cutting through the dark years ago
I let you go, but I’m still holding on
Keys changed hands, but the hurt stays strong
Old Betsy in the snow
I sold you off, and I lost my home
It’s hard, it’s hard, just letting go
It’s so damn hard
Just letting go
