the song that i've stcuk in my haed for the last few days. what do y'all think of it?
i love the feeling it gives and the tune. lots of the EOM songs sound like this (title track, tag along, passing ship especially) but this one's been in my head.

even got busted singing it to myself quietly on the train this morning - the person probably thought i was talking to myself!

Love it. Love it. Love it. 5 weeks ago I played that song 20 times in row on my house system. It reminds me of being at my grandparents home during summers on Fripp Island, South Carolina and going crabbing. He also sings it on the Albany discs.

I have always liked songs that seem (or sound like) they are "galloping" like a horse. This one has an easy gallop Dun-dun-da-na-na-na,I'm gonna let it ride! Other songs that kind of "gallop" are "Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac,"Loverboy" by Billy Ocean. I can't seem to think of more just now. "Let It Ride" is also one of the best of his 80's songs. If I made a top 40 list of his '80's songs,I'd put that either between #15 & #10 or just a little higher. It's been the B! Catch ya on the flipside of Sundown!
