Let it Ride

Got a new pair of shoes in the mail this morning

Got a new set of eyes from a lady in white

Cut ties with a mind that’s been dragging me under

Put darkness in a bottle, it turned out to be light

Took water from a sinner, it turned out to be whiskey

Took honey from a saint, it turned out to be wine

Left this world for a while looking for the river

Found my way on the day that I gave up trying

Now I’m walking’ the line between rhyme and reason

Letting go of my handle on the wheel of time

When your bird has flown and the new moon’s rising

You gotta cut the ties and just let it ride

When I first woke up, started lookin’ for answers

In the bottom of a bottle in the dark of the night

Tripped on a dream started running in circles

Spun around and started running straight into the light

But the light was blinding and I ended up standing

In the very same place where it all had begun

Throwing caution to the wind and giving in to the morning

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof

Now I’m walking’ the line between rhyme and reason

Letting go of my handle on the wheel of time

When your bird has flown and the new moon’s rising

Gotta cut the ties and just let it ride

When your bird has flown and the new moon’s rising

Gotta cut the ties and just let it ride
