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…..
