These are just the simple facts I will relay 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, ride, ride
Leavin' the evening tide, just let it ride
When I listen to my heart, I sometimes fail to find
One plain and simple answer on the dark 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, went to Detroit every night
Stateside of the tunnel, customs agents give him a fight
He hid his stash in the river, threw his bedroll on the ground
And when they finally got there
A sleeping man was all that they found
I just let it ride, ride, let it ride
Leavin' the evening tide, just let it ride
ย
I hear the steeple bells ring out above my lobster pots
Well, I may be out here fishin', man, but that ain't where it starts
The mouths I feed are many and they all say "thanks a lot"
I 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 ever cried
And all of the old jokes we told around the candlelight
To all those tender damsels who had helped us through the night
I just let it ride, ride, ride, ride
Leavin' the evening tide, just let it ride
Here's to the girls from London and the ones from Montreal
I 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
Leavin' the evening tide, just let it run
Leavin' the evening tide, just let it run
