Let It Slide - The Gaddabouts, Edie Brickell, Steve Gadd

I’m gonna let it slide, I’m gonna let it flow

I’m not gonna worry anymore

I’m gon' kick this rock on down the road

I’m not gonna carry no heavy load

I was brought up on the Bible

Fear of God and the devil too

By whiskey drinkers, heavy smokers

«Do as I say, child, not as I do»

We were gypsies born from gambling

«Pack your bag or pay the rent»

So we blew 'round, around that whole town

Like feathers in the wind

And we’ll let it slide, gonna let it flow

I’m not gonna worry anymore

I’m gon' kick this rock on down the road

I’m not gonna carry no heavy load

There was trouble, there was heartbreak

Things a child could not control

When the feeling as it first wake

Wasn’t aching in your soul

I have parted the curtains

Let the sun come streaming

Shift the rain from my hair

I have carried a burden

And no one can see it

And it’s time to leave it there

Every evening I go riding

In my yellow pick-up truck

For the freedom and the night will

Turn my sorrow into luck

I’m gonna let it slide, I’m gonna let it flow

I’m not gonna worry anymore

I’m gon' kick this rock on down the road

I’m not gonna carry no heavy load
