Escrita por Randy Bachman e Fred Turner, foi gravada em 1973 e lançada no disco Bachman-Turner Overdrive II, em dezembro de 1973. Foi lançada também no compacto que tinha Tramp como Lado B. Fred Turner foi quem cantou. Chegou ao número 23 do Billboard Hot100. Chegou também ao número 3 no Canadá. Foi inspirada num acidente de transito em que eles se meteram enquanto faziam uma turnê abrindo show para os Doobie Brothers. O onibus da banda foi engavetado por caminhões. Tiraram os veículos e foram pro acostamento. Os músicos foram confrontar os motoristas dos caminhões e eles disseram para os caras: “Take it easy and just let it ride”.
A letra:
Goodbye,
I lied
Don't cry, would you let it ride?
Goodbye, I lied
Don't
cry, would you let it ride?
You can see the
morning, but I can see the light
Try, try, try, let it ride
While
you've been out running, I've been waiting half the night
Try,
try, try, let it ride
And would you cry if I
told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let
it ride?
And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would
you say goodbye 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 forgiving kind, and that's just not my style
Try,
try, try, let it ride
And would you cry if I
told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let
it ride?
And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would
you say goodbye or would you let it ride?
I've been doing things
worthwhile, and you've been booking time
Try, try, try, let it
ride
And would you cry if I
told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye, would you let it
ride?
And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would
you say goodbye 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
Try, try, try, let it ride, Try,
try, try, let it ride
Try, try, try, let it
ride, Try, try, try, let it ride
Try, try, try, let it ride, Try,
try, try, let it ride
Try, try, try, let it ride,
Would you let it
ride? Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride? Would
you let it ride?
