These are just the simple facts

I will relate to you

Though they are not connected

Each and every one is true

If they seem a bit untidy

Well unraveling them is fun

I will not stand corrected

I have not harmed anyone

I just let it ride

Ride let it ride

Leave on the evening tide

Just let it ride

When I listen to my heart

I sometimes fail to find

One sane and simple answer

On the bright side of my mind

Even when I'm sleeping

I can't seem to unwind

I just let it ride

I knew a man from Windsor

Who went to Detroit every night

And stateside of the tunnel

Customs agents gave him flight

He threw his stash in the river

And his bedroll on the ground

And when they finally got there

A sleeping man was all that they found

He just let it ride

Ride let it ride

Leaving on the evening tide

Just let it ride

Hear the steeple bell ring out

Above my lobster pots

I might be out here fishing man

But that ain't where it stops

The mouths I feed are many

And they all say thanks a lot

They just let it ride

One day when I'm old and gray

And consider what's gone by

I always will be proud of

Every tear I've ever cried

And all of the old jokes we told

Around the candle light

To all those tender damsels

Who had helped us through the night

They just let it ride

Ride let it ride

Leaving on the evening tide

Just let it ride

I'm gonna let it ride

Here's to the girls of London

And the ones from Montreal

We never will forget them

We still fantasize them all

I knew one in St Louis

On a Missouri afternoon

I met one up in Shanghai

And another in Rangoon

I just let it ride

Ride let it ride

Leaving on the evening tide

Just let it ride

Ride ride ride

I'm gonna let it ride

Leaving on the evening tide

Just let it ride
