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… |
