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
