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 in one night Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid Said she made him free reckless and young 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 When it's all said and done You do what you gotta do Then you let that pony run
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 Sometimes she rides by the river Says 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 When it's all said and done You do what you gotta do Then you let that pony run Let that pony run
