1365 – Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Let it ride (1973)

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?
