Let It Go

Spent the night with a friend of mine and a handle of good whiskey

We picked guitars and talked about how the glory days we missed 'em

And it didn't take too long to find the truth inside that bottle

Cast a-sea so long ago was a message from my father.

You keep your heart above your head and you eyes wide open

So this world can't find a way to leave you cold

And know you're not the only ship out on the ocean

Save your strength for things that you can change

Forgive the ones you can't

You gotta let 'em go

Looking back now on my life I can't say I regret it

And all the places that I ended up not the way Ma woulda had it

But you only get once chance at life to leave your mark upon it

And when a pony he comes riding by you better set your sweet ass on it

You keep your heart above your head and you eyes wide open

So this world can't find a way to leave you cold

And know you're not the only ship out on the ocean

Save your strength for things that you can change

Forgive the ones you can't

You gotta let 'em go

Like a sweet sunset in Georgia let it go

And like the fear that grabs ahold ya let it go

Let it go

Let it go

You keep your heart above your head and you eyes wide open

So this world can't find a way to leave you cold

And know you're not the only ship out on the ocean

Save your strength for things that you can change

Forgive the ones you can't

You gotta let 'em go
