Song Description

Let It Run is a Southern rock-influenced Americana track about learning when to stop fighting the current and let life move forward on its own terms. Set against a moonlit river and carried by warm guitars, harmonica, and a laid-back groove, the song blends reflective storytelling with an easy, rolling feel inspired by classic roots rock. It's a song about release--not giving up, but loosening your grip and trusting the flow.

Lyrics

(Intro)
(Instrumental intro with electric guitar riff and harmonica)

(Verse 1)
Sitting on the bank with my boots in the mud,
Radio low, just the hum of the flood,
Cypress shadows leaning into the night,
Moon on the water like a porch light.

(Chorus)
Oh, moonlight river, carry it all downstream,
Every wrong turn, every half-bad dream,
I've been holding on tighter than I should've done,
Let it roll, let it run, let it run.

(Verse 2)
There's a screen door singing every time it swings,
Your name in the echo of a thousand things,
Time don't erase it, it just learns the tune,
Plays it soft in the light of a crescent moon.

(Chorus)
Oh, moonlight river, carry it all downstream,
Every wrong turn, every half-bad dream,
I've been holding on tighter than I should've done,
Let it roll, let it run, let it run.

(Instrumental Break)
(Instrumental section with twin electric guitars and harmonica)

(Verse 3)
I tried fixing things that don't wanna stay,
Tried talking sense to yesterday,
But the river don't argue, it just moves on by,
Says, "Son, sometimes letting go's how you survive."

(Final Chorus)
Oh, moonlight river, carry it all downstream,
Every lost fight, every could-have-been,
If peace is a place that I gotta learn,
Let it roll, let it run, let it burn.

(Outro)
(Instrumental outro fading with harmonica and guitar)
