Let It Roll Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

the other night as I was driving 

Up the highway through the past 

I was torn betwwen the future 

and the memories of the past 

Fell in love for the wrong reasons 

Gave our hearts then lost control 

So I eased it up past sixty 

Turn away and let it roll 

We had the plan to stay together 

You with your dreams me with mine 

With the promess of forever 

We would stand the test of time 

Like the hot winds come in summer 

Trouble waited at the door 

Time to leave this all behind me 

Turn away and let it roll

Chorus 

Let it roll the way these heart aches 

Let it roll away theses fears 

let it roll away the reasons 

We've been crying all these years 

Every mile that comes between us 

There's a cleansing in my soul 

Throw away the rear view mirror 

Adios and let it roll 

Now everybody takes their chances 

Everybody has to choose 

But when love hangs in the balance 

There's an innocence you lose 

I don't know what lies before me 

But I'm sure I have to go 

Feel the tears slowly descending 

It's my last so let it roll

Time to leave this all behind me 

Adios and let it go
