Let That Pony Run Lyrics - Singles - Pam Tillis

Mary was married with children 

Had the perfect suburban life 

Till her husband came clean with the help of Jim Beam 

And confessed all his sins one night 

Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid 

Said she made him feel reckless and young 

And when he was through, what else could she do 

She just let that pony run 

'Cause you do what you gotta do 

And you know what you know 

You hang on till you can't hang on 

Then you learn to let go 

And you get what you need sometimes 

And when it's all said and done 

You do what you gotta do 

Then you let that pony run, oh yeah 

And now, Mary moved to West Virginia 

After the shock wore off 

She got a divorce and a chestnut horse 

And a barn with an old hayloft 

And sometimes she rides down by the river 

Said it makes her feel reckless and young 

She just closes her eyes and she holds on tight 

And she lets that pony run 

'Cause you do what you gotta do 

And you know what you know 

You hang on till you can't hang on 

Then you learn to let go 

And you get what you need sometimes 

And when it's all said and done 

You do what you gotta do 

Then you let that pony run 

And let that pony run, oh yeah, oh yeah
