Let It Ride Lyrics

(Hensley/Box/Kerslake/Lawton)
Before I leave town today
Well, there's something
That I wanna say
That you regret the stormy night
You put your eyes on me
Well, you cheated on me
And you lied
And I must've had that
A thousand times
But I'll be comin' back one day
Just you wait and see

Oh, yeah, let it ride, let it ride
Let it slip, let it slide
Ride the night away
Let it ride, let it ride
Let it slip, let it slide
'Cause I'll be coming back to stay

This time you could've let me live
But there's nothing more
That I can give
You've stolen every day in my life
And then you threw it away
This train I'm gonna ride tonight
Is gonna carry me
Right out of your sight
But I'll be comin' back some time
And then you're gonna pay

Oh won't you take me tonight
Won't you carry me right to the top
Taking me higher
You carry me through
The things that you know
To the end of the line
How much higher?
The last lap is mine
It's too long as they say
You know it's just what will be
As you've wavin' goodbye
Keep rememberin' why
The devil that got you was me

You're the city where
I wanted to be
But the lonely spell you put on me
It's time for you to realize
That there's just no way
