Pam Tillis - Let That Pony Run lyrics

Album: Greatest Hits (1997)

Mary was married with children,
had the perfect suburban life,
´til her husband came clean with the help of Jim Beam
and confessed all his sins one night.
Said he would fallen in love with a barmaid,
said she made him feel reckless & young.
And when he got through, what else could she do?
She just let that pony run.

(chorus)
´Cause you do what you´ve got to do,
and you know what you know.
You hang on until you can not hang on,
then you learn to let go.
You get what you want sometimes,
but when it is all said & done,
you do what you´ve got to do
then you let that pony run.

Now Mary moved to West Virginia,
after the shock wore off.
She got a divorce & a chestnut horse
and a barn with an old hayloft.
Sometimes she rides down by the river,
said it makes her feel reckless & young.
She just closes her eyes, & she holds on tight,
and she lets that pony run.

(repeat chorus)
