Let It Go

Spent the night with a friend of mine and a handle of good whiskey.
Picked guitars and talked about how the glory days went missing.
It didn't take too long to find the truth inside the bottle.
Cast a sea so long ago was a message from my father.
Keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open.
So this world can't find a way to leave you cold.
No you're not the only ship out on the ocean.
Save your strength for things that you can't change.
Forgive the ones you can.
You got to let it go.
Looking back now my life I can't say I regret it.
And all the places that I ended up not the way ma would've had it.
But you only get once chance in life to leave your mark upon it.
When the pony he comes riding by you better set your sweet ass on it.
Keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open.
So this world can't find a way to leave you cold.
No you're not the only ship out on the ocean.
Save your strength for things that you can't change.
Forgive the ones you can.
You got to let it go.
Like a sweet sunset in Georgia let it go.
Like a fear that grabs a hold of you let it go.
Keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open.
So this world can't find a way to leave you cold.
No you're not the only ship out on the ocean.
Save your strength for things that you can't change.
Forgive the ones you can.
You got to let it go.
