Let It Ride |
Well some people take this life |
They keep it all up inside |
But me I can take the picking |
Hell I just let things ride |
When all has got you down |
You got nothing left to lose |
Just slide on boys |
And just lose those blues |
Just let it ride |
Just let it ride |
Don’t stop boys, c’mon said let it ride |
Dum dum dee da le Let it ride |
Just let it ride |
Don’t stop boys, c’mon said let it ride |
Well now I’ve been down and out |
I say I know it ain’t no joke |
And I know that hungry feeling |
And that gnawing when you’re broke |
Right here for some it’s different |
But for me I found a way |
I can get up and grab my old guitar |
And just play those blues away |
Well one time when I was job-hunting |
Down in New Orleans |
I came upon a man who was |
Thumbing through stacks of greens |
He asked me was I hungry |
And I said, «Man is that some kind of a dirty joke?» |
Said drink lots of water boy |
And just walk real slow |
Just let it ride… |
Well now you know just as well as me |
How the blues gonna get you down |
They gonna kick you and sick you |
And I said |
Flat buck you in the ground |
But I found me a way to beat back those blues inside |
You can grab your grip and your old flat pick |
And said boys just let it rid |
Just let it ride… |
