Let That Pony Run

Mary was married with children Had the perfect suburban life Till her husband came clean with the help of Jim Beam And confessed all his sins one night Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid Said she made him feel reckless and young And when he was through, what else could she do She just let that pony run 'Cause you do what you gotta do And you know what you know You hang on till you can't hang on Then you learn to let go And you get what you need sometimes And when it's all said and done You do what you gotta do Then you let that pony run, oh yeah And now, Mary moved to West Virginia After the shock wore off She got a divorce and a chestnut horse And a barn with an old hayloft And sometimes she rides down by the river Said it makes her feel reckless and young She just closes her eyes and she holds on tight And she lets that pony run 'Cause you do what you gotta do And you know what you know You hang on till you can't hang on Then you learn to let go And you get what you need sometimes And when it's all said and done You do what you gotta do Then you let that pony run And let that pony run, oh yeah, oh yeah
