I was leaGving on the Delta CQueen
And I Fwasn't Cready to Ggo
FI'm never Cready to Ggo
Am27 years of nothing but failures
and proGmises that I couldn't Ckeep, Oh Lord
And I Fwasn't Cready to Ggo
FI'm never Cready to Ggo
CHORUS
Let it rAmide
Let it ride Feasy Cdown the Groad
Let it rAmide
Let it take Faway all Cof the Gdarkness
Let it rAmide
Let it rock me Fin the Carms of Gstrangers Cangels
FUntil it brings me home
Am - Intro Riff
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go

AmLoaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferryboat
GI was at the bar till Cthree, Oh Lord
And I Fwasn't Cready to Ggo

Where tGhey were gonna burCy me
And I Fwasn't Cready to Ggo
FI'm never Cready to Ggo
