About Let It Ride

"Let It Ride" is a 1974 single by Bachman-Turner Overdrive, written by Randy Bachman and Fred Turner, with the latter providing lead vocals. It was first recorded for the 1973 album Bachman–Turner Overdrive II. The single peaked at #23 on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 on April 27, 1974 (making it BTO's first Top 40 song in the US), and spent two weeks at #14 on the Cash Box Top 100. In Canada, the song reached #3. The tune was inspired by a traffic jam. The band was in their tour bus, on a highway, and were boxed in by a couple of trucks. When the bus and the trucks reached a rest area, the musicians confronted the truck drivers, who responded by saying the band should take it easy and just let it ride. The song was covered by Canadian rock band Big Sugar on their 1998 album, Heated. It was also covered by Canadian country music group Farmer's Daughter on their 1998 album This Is the Life. Their version was released as a single in 1999 and peaked at #30 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada. In 2015, Canadian heavy metal band Kobra and the Lotus covered the song on their first EP Words of the Prophets. more »

Goodbye
I lied
Don't cry
Would you led it ride?

Goodbye
I lied
Don't cry
Would you led it ride?

You can see the morning
But I can see the light
Try, try, try
To let it ride

While you've been out runnin'
I've been waitin' half the night
Try, try, try
To let it ride

Would you cry
If I told you that I'd lied
And would you say goodbye?
Would you let it ride

And would you cry
If I told you that I'd lied
And would you say goodbye?
Would you let it ride

Baby, my life is not complete
Never seen you smile
Try, try, try
To let it ride

Baby, you're not the forgiving kind
And that's just not my style
Try, try, try
To let it ride

Would you cry
If I told you that I'd lied
And would you say goodbye?
Would you let it ride

And would you cry
If I told you that I'd lied
And would you say goodbye?
Would you let it ride

You've been doing things worthwhile
I've been bookin' time
Try, try, try
To let it ride

Would you cry
If I told you that I'd lied
And would you say goodbye?
Would you let it ride

And would you cry
If I told you that I'd lied
And would you say goodbye?
Would you let it ride

Yeah, would you cry
If I told you that I'd lied
And would you say goodbye?
Would you let it ride

Would you let it ride
Would you let it ride
Would you let it ride
Would you let it ride

Ooh, ooh
