Gordon Lightfoot - Let It Ride lyrics
These are just the simple facts I will relate to you Though they are not connected Each and every one is true If they seem a bit untidy Well unraveling them is fun I will not stand corrected I have not harmed anyone I just let it ride Ride let it ride Leave on the evenin' tide Just let it ride When I listen to my heart I sometimes fail to find One sane and simple answer On the bright side of my mind Even when I'm sleeping I can't seem to unwind I just let it ride I knew a man from Windsor Who went to Detroit every night And stateside of the tunnel Customs agents gave him flight He threw his stash in the river And his bedroll on the ground And when they finally got there A sleeping man was all that they found He just let it ride Ride let it ride Leavin' on the evenin' tide Just let it ride Hear the steeple bell ring out Above my lobster pots I might be out here fishin' man But that ain't where it stops The mouths I feed are many And they all say thanks a lot They just let it ride One day when I'm old and gray 'N consider what's gone by I always will be proud of Every tear I've ever cried And all of the old jokes we told Around the candle light To all those tender damsels Who had helped us through the night They just let it ride Ride let it ride Leavin' on the evenin' tide Just let it ride I'm gonna let it ride Here's to the girls of London And the ones from Montreal We never will forget them We still fantasize them all I knew one in St. Louis On a Missouri afternoon I met one up in Shanghai And another in Rangoon I just let it ride Ride let it ride Leavin' on the evenin' tide Just let it ride Ride ride ride I'm gonna let it ride Leavin' on the evenin' tide Just let it ride |
