Mary was married with children |
|
Had the perfect suburban life |
|
Till her husband came clean with the help of |
|
Jim Beam And confessed all his sins in one night |
|
Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid |
|
Said she made him free reckless and young |
|
When he was through, what else could she do |
|
She just let that pony run ' |
|
Cause you do what you gotta do |
|
And you know what you know |
|
You hang on till you can't hang on |
|
Then you learn to let go |
|
And you get what you need sometimes |
|
When it's all said and done |
|
You do what you gotta do |
|
Then you let that pony run |
|
Mary moved to |
|
West Virginia |
|
After the shock wore off |
|
She got a divorce and a chestnut horse |
|
And a barn with an old hayloft |
|
Sometimes she rides by the river |
|
Says it makes her feel reckless and young |
|
She just closes her eyes and she holds on tight |
|
And she lets that pony run ' |
|
Cause you do what you gotta do |
|
And you know what you know |
|
You hang on till you can't hang on |
|
Then you learn to let go |
|
And you get what you need sometimes |
|
When it's all said and done |
|
You do what you gotta do |
|
Then you let that pony run |
|
Let that pony run |
