Jerry Jeff Walker - Let It Ride lyrics

Well some people take this life They keep it all up inside But me I can take the picking Hell I just let things ride When all has got you down You got nothing left to lose Just slide on boys And just lose those blues Just let it ride Just let it ride Don't stop boys, c'mon said let it ride Dum dum dee da le Let it ride Just let it ride Don't stop boys, c'mon said let it ride Well now I've been down and out I say I know it ain't no joke And I know that hungry feeling And that gnawing when you're broke Right here for some it's different But for me I found a way I can get up and grab my old guitar And just play those blues away Well one time when I was job-hunting Down in New Orleans I came upon a man who was Thumbing through stacks of greens He asked me was I hungry And I said, "Man is that some kind of a dirty joke?" Said drink lots of water boy And just walk real slow Just let it ride….. Well now you know just as well as me How the blues gonna get you down They gonna kick you and sick you And I said Flat buck you in the ground But I found me a way to beat back those blues inside You can grab your grip and your old flat pick And said boys just let it rid Just let it ride…..
