Cover art for Let It Ride lyrics by Bachman-Turner Overdrive

It's the guy speaking the whole time. She's been out running around but she asks him to forgive her. He asks her "Would YOU cry and say goodbye if I told you that I lied or would you let it ride?"

He wants to let it ride, "Beave, my life is not complete, I never see you smile", "Try, try, try to let it ride". "Baby you want the forgivin' kind and that's just not my style. Try try try to let it ride".

Sorry, but I don't think it's going to ride, girl.

And I think it's "You CAN see the morning but I can see the light". It makes more sense but it does sound more like he is saying can't.

This may be the best song, recording, ever.

Song Meaning

@TheBeckles A convoluted scenario. It seems like this: She stayed out all night. He said, I'll let it ride but he lying and really doesn't want to 'let it ride'. He wants to tell her that he lied when he said, I'll let it ride but will she 'let it ride' when he lied and said 'I'll let it ride'.

@perry11083 I think you're over complicating it. She has been lying and cheating. He's saying, "would you let it ride, if it were me lying and cheating?"

And I think the lyrics sound more like "Goodbye. High life. Don't cry. Would you let it ride?"

And later "Goodbye, high life. So fine. Would you let it ride?"
