Zac Brown Band - Let It Go lyrics

Spent the night with a friend of mine
And a handle of good whiskey
We picked guitars and talked about how
The glory days we missed them
And it didn't take too long to
Find the truth inside that bottle
Cast a sea so long ago was
A message from my father

You keep your heart above your head
And your eyes wide open
So this world can't find a
Way to leave you cold
And know you're not the only
Ship out on the ocean
Save your strength for things
That you can change
Forgive the ones you can't
You've got to let it go

Looking back now on my life
I can't say I regret it
And all the places that I ended up
Not the way Ma would have had it
But, you only get one chance at life
To leave your mark upon it
And when a pony he comes riding by you
Better set your sweet ass on it

You keep your heart above your head
And your eyes wide open
So this world can't find a
Way to leave you cold
And know you're not the only
Ship out on the ocean
Save your strength for things
That you can change
Forgive the ones you can't
You've got to let it go

Like a sweet sunset in Georgia, let it go
And like the fear that grabs a hold of you
Let it go let it go
Like a sweet sunset in Georgia, let it go
And like the fear that grabs a hold of you
Let it go let it go

But keep your heart above your head
And your eyes wide open
So this world can't find a
Way to leave you cold
And know you're not the only
Ship out on the ocean
Save your strength for things
That you can change
Forgive the ones you can't
You've got to let it go
