Let It Ride (LP版) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Ligh[00:00:00]
These are just the simple facts[00:00:12]
I will relate to you[00:00:14]
Though they are not connected[00:00:16]
Each and every one is true[00:00:19]
If they seem a bit untidy[00:00:21]
Well unraveling them is fun[00:00:23]
I will not stand corrected[00:00:26]
I have not harmed anyone[00:00:28]
I just let it ride[00:00:32]
Ride let it ride[00:00:34]
Leave on the evening tide[00:00:37]
Just let it ride[00:00:39]
When I listen to my heart[00:00:44]
I sometimes fail to find[00:00:45]
One sane and simple answer[00:00:48]
On the bright side of my mind[00:00:50]
Even when I'm sleeping[00:00:53]
I can't seem to unwind[00:00:56]
I just let it ride[00:00:58]
I knew a man from Windsor[00:01:05]
Who went to Detroit every night[00:01:06]
And stateside of the tunnel[00:01:09]
Customs agents gave him flight[00:01:12]
He threw his stash in the river[00:01:15]
And his bedroll on the ground[00:01:17]
And when they finally got there[00:01:20]
A sleeping man was all that they found[00:01:22]
He just let it ride[00:01:25]
Ride let it ride[00:01:27]
Leaving on the evening tide[00:01:30]
Just let it ride[00:01:32]
Hear the steeple bell ring out[00:01:39]
Above my lobster pots[00:01:41]
I might be out here fishing man[00:01:44]
But that ain't where it stops[00:01:46]
The mouths I feed are many[00:01:49]
And they all say thanks a lot[00:01:52]
They just let it ride[00:01:54]
One day when I'm old and gray[00:01:58]
And consider what's gone by[00:02:00]
I always will be proud of[00:02:03]
Every tear I've ever cried[00:02:05]
And all of the old jokes we told[00:02:08]
Around the candle light[00:02:11]
To all those tender damsels[00:02:13]
Who had helped us through the night[00:02:15]
They just let it ride[00:02:19]
Ride let it ride[00:02:21]
Leaving on the evening tide[00:02:24]
Just let it ride[00:02:26]
I'm gonna let it ride[00:02:32]
Here's to the girls of London[00:02:41]
And the ones from Montreal[00:02:43]
We never will forget them[00:02:46]
We still fantasize them all[00:02:48]
I knew one in St Louis[00:02:51]
On a Missouri afternoon[00:02:53]
I met one up in Shanghai[00:02:56]
And another in Rangoon[00:02:58]
I just let it ride[00:03:01]
Ride let it ride[00:03:03]
Leaving on the evening tide[00:03:06]
Just let it ride[00:03:09]
Ride ride ride[00:03:11]
I'm gonna let it ride[00:03:14]
Leaving on the evening tide[00:03:17]
Just let it ride[00:03:19]
