Let It Ride
Artension Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where it stops no one knows
I'm playing a game, with my life
Took a chance on my final roll
Just don't ever want to lose control
Takin' a ride with my heart
I know the odds are stacked against me
I'm gonna let it ride
Lady luck stand by my side
I'm gonna let it ride
Round and round the story goes
Can't remember feelin' so alone
I'm placing my bet on your life
Wheel of fortune spinnin' round
Don't think it's ever gonna slow me down
I drew a queen and she's wild
I know the odds are stacked against me
It's all or nothing, set me free
I'm gonna let it ride
Lady luck stand by my side
