Let It Go

Spent the night with a friend of mine and a handle of good whiskey
We picked guitars and talked about how the glory days we're missing
It didn't take too long to find the truth inside that bottle
Cast to sea so long ago was a message from my father

You keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open
So this world can't find a way to leave you cold
Know you're not the only ship out on the ocean
Save your strength for things that you can change
Forgive the ones you can't
You gotta let it go

Looking back now on my life I can't say I regret it
And all the places that I ended up not the way Ma woulda had it
But you only get one chance in life to leave your mark upon it
When a pony he comes riding by you better sit your sweet ass on it

And keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open
So this world can't find a way to leave you cold
Know you're not the only ship out on the ocean
Save your strength for things that you can change
Forgive the ones you can't
You gotta let it go

Like a sweet sunset in Georgia let it go
Like the fear that grabs a hold you let it go
La la la la la let it go
La la la la la let it go
La la la la la you let it go
La la la la la let it go
La la la la la let it go
La la la la la you let it go

You keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open
So this world can't find a way to leave you cold
Know you're not the only ship out on the ocean
Save your strength for things that you can change
Forgive the ones you can't
You gotta let it go
