[Intro] (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh) (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh) [Verse 1] Once upon a time, I wore that badge with pride (badge with pride...) Once upon a time, I had the whole damn town by my side! (by my side...) Drank every night, with the boys at the bar, Whiskey and smoke, we were shooting for the stars... But it’s time to let it go...! Once upon a time, I held the keys to it all (keys to it all...) Woke up one day, and I watched it fall... Baby, we were fire, now we’re just dust... So it’s time to let it go...!

But I ain't stickin' ‘round...! [Chorus] So let me ride away... (ride away...) Back to the lantern lights, Mistmere’s callin' me tonight! (callin' me tonight!) Let me ride away... (ride away...) Back to the river, la-la-la, I’ll ride away...! So let me ride away... (ride away...) Back to the lantern lights, Mistmere’s callin' me tonight! (callin' me tonight!) Let me ride away... (ride away...) Back to the river, la-la-la, I’ll ride away...! [Post-Chorus] Once upon a time, it felt like paradise! (paradise...) Once upon a time, we burned so bright! (burned so bright...) Maybe I'll miss all the drunken fights... But it’s time to let it go...! [Bridge] Once upon a time it was made for us (made for us...) Now it’s just ash in an empty cup... (empty cup...) Baby, we were loud, but now it's dust... So it’s time to let it go...! [Pre-Chorus] [Build] I’m done with this cluttered scene... (cluttered scene...) I’m not who I used to be...! (who I used to be...) You say that I’m acting cold... (acting cold...) You're right... I'm heading home...!!! (heading home...) [Final Chorus] So let me ride away... (ride away...)
