Let It Ride (Live)

You weren't the girl I had planned

To share my love with but you came in strongly with

Your ships and planes

You took me down

And I went in quietly

You had me strapped

But you would promise honesty

And like clock-ridden hands

I'd come around

But you'll be captive in this town

And I'll be back out on the road

Well if you wanna hear us out

Then let it ride let it ride let it

Ride but baby I've got so much more in this life

And we could never quite get it

Right and baby I'm not looking out from inside

And I could never quite give you

What you need what you want

You can take what you get

But it just won't amount to much I'm sure

I guess this boy is not for loving after all all after all

I put myself in between

Treason that I hadn't seen naivety would conquer me

As I thought all the buzz was fake

But you'd prove me wrong

But right from the start

Well I've been proven so much smarter

And yeah some nights you were worth the mistake

Now you can call me from the town

And I can tell you about the road

No I don't wanna hear you out

Let it die let it die let it

Die cause baby I've got

So much more in this life

And we could never quite get it

Right and baby I'm not

Looking out from inside

And I will never ever give you

What you need what you want

You can take what you get

But it just won't amount to much I'm sure

I guess this girl is not for loving after all all after all all

But you know that you're my hero yeah yeah

Cause despite your indiscretions I'm a ten times better man

And you know that you're my hero yeah yeah

Cause you saved me from the next one and her not-so-secret hand

Yeah you know that you're my hero yeah yeah

Cause somehow you had me trying to break my back and give you

What you need what you want

You can take what you get but it just won't amount to much I know

What you need what you want

You can take what you get but it just won't amount to much I know

What you need what you want

You can take what you get but it just won't amount to much I'm sure

Yeah you know that you're my hero because I know now

I know some girls are not for loving after all
