Zac Brown Band

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 miss 'em.
And it didn't take too long to find
The truth inside that bottle.
And 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.
Forget the ones you can't.
You gotta let 'em go."

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

And 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.
Forget the ones you can't.
You gotta let 'em go.

And like a sweet sunset in Georgia,
Let it go.
And like the fear that grabs ahold ya,
Let it go.
La la la la la (Let it go)
La la la la la (Let it go)
La la la la la
Let it go.
La la la la la (Let it go)
La la la la la (Let it go)
La la la la la
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.
Forget the ones you can't.
You gotta let 'em go.
Mmm, you gotta let 'em go.
