No Texas Country music blog would be complete without some Randy Rogers Band. Some of my fondest memories include a soundtrack of Randy Rogers in the background which is what made me think of him tonight when I needed a little cheering up. This summer has been long, too hot and extremely stressful for me. A lot of life changes have occurred that are changing the way I view my life and my future. Because of this I have felt confused and a little lost lately, which only adds to the building stress.
So, as I was sitting here talking to my mom and trying to map out where life may take me, I thought of a song that I have always loved but never truly listened to what the lyrics are saying. Tonight, they kind of spoke to me...letting me know that I can't control everything and that sometimes it's best to just let some things go. I realize that I have to set some things free before they completely take over how I view the world. I thought I'd share the lyrics with everyone--maybe they can help you out as well.
The wolf is always knocking
Behind your back somebody’s talking
Yeah the sun always sets at the end of the day
Nobody wins every game they play
Your lucky stars already taken
And every close call leaves you shaken
Don’t be afraid if you have to fold
Just count your blessings and hit the road
Let it go, let it ride
You couldn’t fix it if you tried
It’s a whole lot worse holding it all inside
Let it go, set it free
There are some things you aren’t supposed to keep
Don’t go crazy over what you can’t control
Let it go
When it’s fixed but it still feels broken
And your favorite guitar gets stolen
When your back’s up against the wall
And every step you take you fall
Let it go, let it ride
You couldn’t fix it if you tried
It’s a whole lot worse holding it all inside
Let it go, set it free
There are some things you aren’t supposed to keep
Don’t go crazy over what you can’t control
Let it go
Everything happens for a reason
And you aint gonna stop it
If you build your own prison
Only you have a key to unlock it
Let it go, let it ride
You couldn’t fix it if you tried
It’s a whole lot worse holding it all inside
Let it go, set it free
There are somethings you aren’t supposed to keep
Don’t go crazy over what you can’t control
Let it go
Let it go
I'm normally not a big country person in any way, shape or form, but my godfather has been listening to this one Randy Rogers Band CD on repeat and it has definitely grown on me. The lyrics to the song you posted are definitely applicable and I think that says a lot when you don't even listen to the genre. Good post!
