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

Lolololol, it is try try try, not ride. But it's also, "Goodbye, I lied" not hard life.

@Guilitine Or drive I mean

@Guilitine I think you may be right. The lyric "Goodbye, hard life" doesn't make as much sense in the context of the song as "Goodbye, I lied." And listening to it again more closely, it does sound like "Goodbye, I lied." And yes, it's "Try try try to let it ride."

@Guilitine Absolutely correct. I don't know how people can get that wrong, it's pretty clear.
