Let It Ride Lyrics - John Hiatt

These are just the simple facts 

I will relate to you 

Though they are not connected 

Each and every one is true 

If they seem a bit untidy 

Well unraveling them is fun 

I will not stand corrected 

I have not harmed anyone 

I just let it ride 

Ride let it ride 

Leave on the evenin' tide 

Just let it ride

When I listen to my heart 

I sometimes fail to find 

One sane and simple answer 

On the bright side of my mind 

Even when I'm sleeping 

I can't seem to unwind 

I just let it ride 

I knew a man from Windsor 

Who went to Detroit every night 

And stateside of the tunnel 

Customs agents gave him flight 

He threw his stash in the river 

And his bedroll on the ground 

And when they finally got there 

A sleeping man was all that they found 

Photos 

He just let it ride 

Ride let it ride 

Leavin' on the evenin' tide 

Just let it ride 

Hear the steeple bell ring out 

Above my lobster pots 

I might be out here fishin' man 

But that ain't where it stops 

The mouths I feed are many 

And they all say thanks a lot 

They just let it ride 

One day when I'm old and gray 

'N consider what's gone by 

I always will be proud of 

Every tear I've ever cried 

And all of the old jokes we told 

Around the candle light 

To all those tender damsels 

Who had helped us through the night 

They just let it ride 

Ride let it ride 

Leavin' on the evenin' tide 

Just let it ride 

I'm gonna let it ride 

Here's to the girls of London 

And the ones from Montreal 

We never will forget them 

We still fantasize them all 

I knew one in St. Louis 

On a Missouri afternoon 

I met one up in Shanghai 

And another in Rangoon 

I just let it ride 

Ride let it ride 

Leavin' on the evenin' tide 

Just let it ride 

Ride ride ride 

I'm gonna let it ride 

Leavin' on the evenin' tide 

Just let it ride
