Let it Ride

Got a new pair of shoes in the mail this morning
Got a new set of eyes from a lady in white
Cut ties with a mind that's been dragging me under
Put darkness in a bottle it turned out to be light

Took water from a sinner it turned out to be whiskey
Took honey from a saint and it turned out to be wine
Left this world for a while looking for the river
Found my way on the day that I gave up trying

Now I'm walking' the line between rhyme and reason
Letting go of my handle on the wheel of time
When your bird has flown and the new moons rising
Gotta cut the ties and just let it ride

When I first woke up, started lookin' for answers
In the bottom of a bottle in the dark of the night
Tripped on a dream started running in circles
Spun around and started running straight into the light

But the light was blinding and I ended up standing
In the very same place where it all had begun
Throwing caution to the wind and giving in to the morning
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof

Now I'm walking' the line between rhyme and reason
Letting go of my handle on the wheel of time
When your bird has flown and the new moons rising
Gotta cut the ties and just let it ride

When your bird has flown and the new moons rising
Gotta cut the ties and just let it ride
