Spent the night with a friend of mine
and a handle of good whiskey
Picked guitars and talked about how the glory days—we miss ‘em
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:
Chorus
You keep your heart above your head
and your 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
Forget the ones you can’t
You got to let it 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 would have had it
But you only get one chance in life
to leave your mark upon it
When a pony he comes riding by
you better set your sweet ass on it
Chorus
Like a sweet sunset in Georgia, let it go
And like the fear that grabs ahold you, let it go
la la la la la la la la la la la la, you let it go (2X)
Chorus
Learn to let it go
