Lyrics Let It Slide - The Gaddabouts, Edie Brickell, Steve Gadd

Let It Slide

I’m gonna let it slide, I’m gonna let it flow
I’m not gonna worry anymore
I’m gon' kick this rock on down the road
I’m not gonna carry no heavy load
I was brought up on the Bible
Fear of God and the devil too
By whiskey drinkers, heavy smokers
«Do as I say, child, not as I do»
We were gypsies born from gambling
«Pack your bag or pay the rent»
So we blew 'round, around that whole town
Like feathers in the wind
And we’ll let it slide, gonna let it flow
I’m not gonna worry anymore
I’m gon' kick this rock on down the road
I’m not gonna carry no heavy load
There was trouble, there was heartbreak
Things a child could not control
When the feeling as it first wake
Wasn’t aching in your soul
I have parted the curtains
Let the sun come streaming
Shift the rain from my hair
I have carried a burden
And no one can see it
And it’s time to leave it there
Every evening I go riding
In my yellow pick-up truck
For the freedom and the night will
Turn my sorrow into luck
I’m gonna let it slide, I’m gonna let it flow
I’m not gonna worry anymore
I’m gon' kick this rock on down the road
I’m not gonna carry no heavy load
