Let That Pony Run
(Gretchen Peters)

Intro: C F C F

C                     F
Mary was married with children
        C                 F
Had the perfect suburban life
         C              G             Am
Till her husband came clean with the help of Jim Beam
                      F              G
And confessed all his sins in one night
     C                             F
Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid
          C                          F
Said she made him free reckless and young
     C           G          Am
When he was through, what else could she do
         F         G    C
She just let that pony run


~Chorus~

     F      G           C
'Cause you do what you gotta do
    F        G          C
And you know what you know
    F        G         C        Am
You hang on till you can't hang on
          F            G
Then you learn to let go
     F        G      C
And you get what you need sometimes
          G             Am C F
When it's all said and done
      G         C      Am
You do what you gotta do
         F         G     C F C F
Then you let that pony run


C                        F
Mary moved to West Virginia
C                    F
After the shock wore off
    C        G             Am
She got a divorce and a chestnut horse
        F                   G
And a barn with an old hayloft
C                                  F
Sometimes she rides down by the river
C                                    F
Says it makes her feel reckless and young
C                    G                Am
She just closes her eyes and she holds on tight
        F           G   C
And she lets that pony run


~Chorus~
 
     F     G             C
'Cause you do what you gotta do
  F         G          C
And you know what you know
    F        G          C       Am
You hang on till you can't hang on
         F            G
Then you learn to let go
    F       G        C
And you get what you need sometimes
         G             Am  C F
When it's all said and done
      G         C      Am
You do what you gotta do
         F          G   C
Then you let that pony run
F          G    C.....F C F C
Let that pony run
