Let It Ride

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Verse 1

Twelve years old in the back of a Cutlass

Radio buzzing like a trapped fly

Mama worked doubles

I learned how to wait

Counted every mile on the interstate

Long nights

Short fuse

Big dreams

Small room

Pre-Chorus

I been running from the quiet

I been chasing something loud

Every corner of this city

Knows my name but not my sound

Chorus

Let it ride

Let it ride

I ain't folding on the south side

Let it ride

Let it ride

Something sacred in me won't die

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Something sacred in me won't die

Verse 2

Pocket full of nothing but a bus pass

Thunder in my chest like a drumline

Mama called me gifted

Teachers called me restless

Either way I'm leaving

Either way I'm fine

Cold nights

Warm hearts

Long roads

Same scars

Pre-Chorus

I been running from the quiet

I been chasing something loud

Every corner of this city

Knows my name but not my sound

Chorus

Let it ride

Let it ride

I ain't folding on the south side

Let it ride

Let it ride

Something sacred in me won't die

Bridge

Slow down

Slow down

Breathe it in before it fades

Slow down

Slow down

I am more than what they made

Chorus

Let it ride

Let it ride

I ain't folding on the south side

Let it ride

Let it ride

Something sacred in me won't die

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Something sacred in me won't die

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Let it ride

Let it ride
