Let 'Er Rip

Dixie Chicks · Wide Open Spaces [1998]

I can tell there's something you

Don't wanna tell me

It's killing you cause the words

Are hard to find

I know you want to break it to me gently

Well sweet baby say what's on your mind

Let 'er rip, Let it fly



Come on baby say it do you think

I'm gonna cry

I ain't about to bawl and I ain't gonna die

So if you're gonna say goodbye

Don't take all day and night

Let 'er rip Let it fly



Why the drama, we don't have to drag

Out this situation

It wasn't you, it wasn't me, sometimes

The chemistry don't ignite

There ain't no rings, no morgage, there ain't any complications

It's just a hyphenated word, get it out and

I'm sure I'll be all right



Let 'er rip, Let it fly

Come on baby say it, do you think

I'm gonna cry

ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die

So if you're gonna say goodbye

Don't take all day and night

Let 'er rip, Let it fly



It ain't no big deal, ain't no great loss

You and I are on the same train of thought

So you don't have to tell me where to get off

Maybe I misunderstood you

But if you're leaving baby would you



Let 'er rip, let it fly

Come on baby say it, do you think

I'm gonna cry

I ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die

So if you're gonna say goodbye

Don't take all day and night

Let 'er rip, let it fly



So, if you're gonna say goodbye

Don't take all day and night

Let 'er rip, let it fly
