let it ride

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?"
