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
