Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Spent the night with a friend of mine and a handle of good whiskey
Picked guitars and talked about how the glory days, we miss 'em
It didn't take too long to find the truth inside that bottle
Cast to sea so long ago was a message from from my father
[Verse 2]
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 ones you can't, you gotta let it go
[Verse 3]
Lookin' back now on my life, I can't say I regret it
And all the places that I ended up, not the way Ma woulda had it
But you only get one chance in life to leave your mark upon it
When the pony, he comes ridin' by
You better set your sweet ass on it
[Verse 4]
And 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 ones you can't, you gotta let it go
[Verse 5]
Like a sweet sunset in Georgia, let it go
Like the fear that grabs ahold ya, let it go
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (Let it go, let it go)
La-la-la-la-la, you let it go
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (Let it go, let it go)
La-la-la-la-la, you let it go
[Verse 6]
But 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 ones you can't, you gotta let it go
[Verse 7]
Learn to let it go
