| Spent the night with a friend of mine and a handle of good whiskey
|
| We picked guitars and talked about how the glory days we miss 'em
|
| And it didn’t take too long to find the truth inside that bottle
|
| Cast a-sea so long ago was a message from my father.
|
| You keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open
|
| So this world can’t find a way to leave you cold
|
| And know you’re not the only ship out on the ocean
|
| Save your strength for things that you can change
|
| Forgive the ones you can’t
|
| You gotta let it go
|
| Looking back now on my life I can’t say I regret it
|
| And all the places that I ended up not the way Ma woulda had it
|
| But you only get one chance in life to leave your mark upon it
|
| And when a pony he comes riding by you better set your sweet ass on it
|
| You keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open
|
| So this world can’t find a way to leave you cold
|
| And know you’re not the only ship out on the ocean
|
| Save your strength for things that you can change
|
| Forgive the ones you can’t
|
| You gotta let it go
|
| Like a sweet sunset in Georgia let it go
|
| And like the fear that grabs ahold ya let it go
|
| La La La La La …
|
| You let it go
|
| La La La La La …
|
| You let it go
|
| You keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open
|
| So this world can’t find a way to leave you cold
|
| And know you’re not the only ship out on the ocean
|
| Save your strength for things that you can change
|
| Forgive the ones you can’t
|
| You gotta let it go
|
| Learn to let it go |
