Spent the night with a friend of mine, and a handle of good wiskey We picked guitars and talked about how the glory days went missin' It didn't take to long to find the truth inside that bottle Cast a sea, so long ago, was a message from my father You keep your heart above your head, and your eyes wide open So this world can't find a way to leave you cold And know you're not the only ship out on the ocean Save your strength for things that you can change Forgive the one's you can't You gotta let it go Looking back now on my life I can't say I regret it And all the places I ended up, not the way Ma woulda had it But you only get once chance in life to leave your mark upon it So when that pony he comes riding by you better set your sweet ass on it Chorus Like a sweet sunset in Georgia let it go and like the fear that grabs ahold ya let it go you let it go
