Drive, She Said - Let It Ride lyrics

Slippin' and slidin' down on Highway 65 Took a backwater turn just to try to stay alive She was sittin' in the back of a smoke-filled honkytonk Playin' five card stud, she had her headlights on Must-a been the booze and the jukebox on, yeah, yeah I said, 'hey, baby, what's that you got in your hand?" She said, 'mind your own business, gonna break this man Let it ride, oh, let it ride, baby Oh, let it ride, baby, yeah, yeah Keep your hands on the wheel, yeah And let it ride, yeah Ow, c'mon! Must-a been mornin' when I caught her eye She said, 'hey, baby, you can be my alibi' So we jumped my machine, headed down to Saint Lou Said she heard about a game and some Chicago Blue She played her hand like it was hell on fire I said 'you got $500 on a pair of fives And we was starvin' last night just tryin' to stay alive' She said... Let it ride, oh, let it ride Oh, let it ride, oh... Just keep your hands on the wheel, baby And let it ride Couldn't shift no higher, had my hands on the wheel Ten cylinders pushin' red hot steel Like a freight train comin', I was ready to roll She said, 'slow down, baby, try to take it slow', yeah We been drinkin' champagne and muddy water, yeah, yeah One night she put $20,000 down on number 16 I said, 'honey, call it a night and we can shake this scene She said... Let it ride, oh, let it ride, baby Oh, let it ride, yeah, yeah Just keep your eyes on the road And let it ride, yeah Let it ride, baby, yeah Let it ride, no, no Just keep your eyes on the road And it let it ride, yeah Shut up and let it ride What's that? Ride till the night's on fire, yeah Na-na-na, oh, hey-hey-hey Na-na-na, oh, hey-hey-hey Shut up! Let it ride Ride till the night's on up Shut up! Let it ride
