Let It Ride

Well I grew up in California with the beach just to my left
 The paradise i came to call my home
 When the first chance i got i took right to the stage
 Feeling like i'd never be along
 So pile in the open with open minds and open hands
 There's plenty out there on the open road
 I keep a towel on hand
 Dont' get too drunk to stand
 Probably make it back to tell us all
 So let it ride
 Out of this state
 I know the drive just might illuminate
 The best of times
 The worst of days
 Somehow it all just blows away
 Well i was born on this train
 Bred to feel all this pain
 My house another 14 hour tow
 While on these late summer nights i was kicking out the lights
 Everything was all hell below
 So i stashed another key in a forbidden city
 Only to return another day
 While the clouds have all lifted
 Skyscrapers not shifted
 Maybe it was all supposed to change
 So let it ride
 Out of this state
 I know the drive just might illuminate
 The best of times
 The worst of days
 Somehow it all just blows away
