Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Let It Roll

the other night as I was driving

Up the highway through the past

I was torn betwwen the future

and the memories of the past

Fell in love for the wrong reasons

Gave our hearts then lost control

So I eased it up past sixty

Turn away and let it roll

We had the plan to stay together

You with your dreams me with mine

With the promess of forever

We would stand the test of time

Like the hot winds come in summer

Trouble waited at the door

Time to leave this all behind me

Turn away and let it roll

Chorus

Let it roll the way these heart aches

Let it roll away theses fears

let it roll away the reasons

We've been crying all these years

Every mile that comes between us

There's a cleansing in my soul

Throw away the rear view mirror

Adios and let it roll

Now everybody takes their chances

Everybody has to choose

But when love hangs in the balance

There's an innocence you lose

I don't know what lies before me

But I'm sure I have to go

Feel the tears slowly descending

It's my last so let it roll

Chorus

...

Time to leave this all behind me

Adios and let it go
