Goodbye, hard life
Don't cry, would you let it ride?
Good bye, hard life
Don't cry, would you let it ride?

You can't see the mornin'
But I can see the light
Try, try, try let it ride
While you've been out runnin'
I've been waitin' half the night
Try, try, try let it ride

And would you cry (goodbye) if I told you that I lied (I lied)
And would you say goodbye (don't cry)
Or would you let it ride?
And would you cry (goodbye) if I told you that I lied (I lied)
And would you say goodbye (don't cry)
Or would you let it ride?

Seems my life is not complete
I never see you smile
Try, try, try let it ride
Baby, you want the forgivin' kind
And that's just not my style
Try, try, try let it ride

And would you cry (goodbye) if I told you that I lied (I lied)
And would you say goodbye (don't cry)
Or would you let it ride?
And would you cry (goodbye) if I told you that I lied (I lied)
And would you say goodbye (don't cry)
Or would you let it ride?

Oh, I've been doin' things worthwhile
You've been bookin' time
Try, try, try let it ride

And would you cry (goodbye) if I told you that I lied (I lied)
And would you say goodbye (don't cry)
Or would you let it ride?
And would you cry (goodbye) if I told you that I lied (I lied)
And would you say goodbye (don't cry)
Or 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?

Try, try, try let it ride
Try, try, try let it ride (yeah)
Try, try, try let it ride (oh)
Try, try, try let it ride (oh)

Try, try, try let it ride
Try, try, try let it ride (yes)
Try, try, try let it ride (oh, oh)
Try, try, try let it ride

Try, try, try let it ride (yeah)
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride? (Yes)
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?

    Oh, and about the songs with repeated lyrics. I recall listening to American Top 40 back in the late 70's or early 80's. I think it may have been a special show about records. In fact I just looked it up and it was American Top 40 Book of Records on July 5, 1980. "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers was played because it repeated "I Know" something like 25 times in a row. This song has more "Let it rides", but not in a row.
