"Even a Fool Would Let Go" is a country song by songwriters Tom Snow and Kerry Chater (a former member of Gary Puckett & The Union Gap). The song lyrics meditate on a tempting but imprudent and perhaps adulterous ("neither one of us is free") love affair.The first recording of the song was by Gayle McCormick (formerly of the band Smith) on her 1974 solo album One More Hour.
