Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River

I was leaving on the Delta Queen

And I wasn't ready to go

I'm never ready to go

27 of nothing but failures and promises that I couldn't keep

Oh lord, I wasn't ready to go

I'm never ready to go

Let it ride

Let it ride easy down the road

Let it ride

Let it take away all of the darkness

Let it ride

Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels until it brings me home

Let it ride

Let it roll

Let it go

Loaded like a sailor

Tumbling off a ferry boat

I was at the bar till three

Oh Lord, and I wasn't ready to go

I'm never ready to go

Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina where they're gonna bury me

And I ain't ready to go

I'm never ready to go

Let it ride let it ride easy down the road

Let it ride

Let it take away all of this darkness

Let it ride

Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels until it brings me home

Let it ride

Let it roll

Let it go

I wanna see you tonight

Dancing in the endless moonlight

In the parking lot in the headlights of cars

Someplace on the moon

Where they moved the drive-in theater

Where I left the car that I can't find but I still got the keys to

Let it ride

Let it ride easy down the road

Let it ride

Let it take away all of this darkness

Let it ride

Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels until it brings me home

Let it ride

Let it roll
