Ever since I've heard this line, I've always considered it to be something of a comment on life. Life is a "ride"--an experience that we all have and we're all on our individual paths. However, a lot of people like to compare themselves to others to determine the value of their own lives on different levels. How much money does person X earn compared to me, how many friends does person Y have compared to me, does person Z have an attractive significant other (or simply has one) compared to me.
The line, to me, says that we should forget all of that and just savor the ride we have rather than battle with others for the "ideal life".
"This is a ride, not a fight."
