Let It Ride

Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River
 I was leaving on the Delta Queen
 And I wasn't ready to go
 I'm never ready to go
 Twenty-seven years of nothing but failures
 And promises that I couldn't keep
 Oh lord, I wasn't ready to go
 I'm never ready to go
 Let it ride
 Let it ride easy down the road
 Let it ride
 Let it take away all of the darkness
 Let it ride
 Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels
 Until it brings me home
 Let it ride, let it roll, let it go
 Loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferry boat
 I was at the bar till three
 Oh lord, and I wasn't ready to go
 I'm never ready to go
 Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina
 Where they're gonna bury me
 And I ain't ready to go
 I'm never ready to go
 Let it ride
 Let it ride easy down the road
 Let it ride
 Let it take away all of this darkness
 Let it ride
 Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels
 Until it brings me home
 Let it ride, let it roll, let it go
 I want to see you tonight
 Dancing in the endless moonlight
 In the parking lot
 In the headlights of cars
 Some place on the moon
 Where they moved the drive-in theater
 Where I left the car that I can't find
 But I still got the keys to
 Let it ride
 Let it ride easy down the road
 Let it ride
 Let it take away all of this darkness
 Let it ride
 Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels
 Until it brings me home
 Let it ride, let it roll, let it go
