LOOSEN MY GRIP ~
words and music by beth wimmer 2017

i'm gonna loosen my grip, tighten my lip, let things go let the good things grow.

verse...
i know i been complaining
if i'm broke or if it's raining.
and over-explaining myself when i make mistakes.
i hate to make mistakes, but i learned from my mama don't be too concerned of another.

i'm gonna loosen my grip, tighten my lip. let the bad things go let the good things grow.
put something down so i can pick something better up. loosen my grip, tighten my lip.
