(Gretchen Peters)
Intro: C F C F
[C]Mary was married with [F]children
Had the [C]perfect suburban l[F]ife
Till her [C]husband came cl[G]ean with the h[Am]elp of Jim Beam
And confessed all his [F]sins in one nig[G]ht
Said [C]he'd fallen in love with a bar[F]maid
Said she m[C]ade him free reckless and y[F]oung
When [C]he was throu[G]gh, what el[Am]se could she do
She just [F]let that p[G]ony r[C]un
~Chorus~
'Caus[F]e you d[G]o what you g[C]otta do
And [F]you know [G]what you kn[C]ow
You [F]hang on t[G]ill you ca[C]n't hang [Am]on
Then you l[F]earn to let g[G]o
And y[F]ou get wh[G]at you [C]need sometimes
When it's [G]all said and d[Am]one[C][F]
You do[G] what you [C]gotta d[Am]o
Then you [F]let that p[G]ony ru[C]n[F][C][F]
[C]Mary moved to West Virgin[F]ia
[C]After the shock wore [F]off
She [C]got a div[G]orce and a che[Am]stnut horse
And a ba[F]rn with an old haylo[G]ft
[C]Sometimes she rides down by the riv[F]er
[C]Says it makes her feel reckless and y[F]oung
[C]She just closes her e[G]yes and she holds[Am] on tight
And she [F]lets that po[G]ny r[C]un
~Chorus~
'Caus[F]e you [G]do what you go[C]tta do
An[F]d you know[G] what you k[C]now
You [F]hang on t[G]ill you can[C]'t hang [Am]on
Then you [F]learn to let [G]go
And [F]you get [G]what you [C]need sometimes
When it's[G] all said and [Am]done[C][F]
