(Charles Turner/Randy Bachman)

Goodbye, I lied
Don't cry, would you let it ride?
Goodbye, I lied
Don't cry, would you let it ride?

You can't see the morning
But I can see the light
Try, try, try to let it ride
While you've been out running
I've been waiting half the night
Try, try, try to let it ride

Would you cry if I told you that I lied
And would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
Would you cry if I told you that I lied
And would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?

Babe, my life is not complete
I never see you smile
Try, try, try to let it ride
Babe, you want the forgiving kind
And that's just not my style
Try, try, try to let it ride

Would you cry if I told you that I lied
And would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
Would you cry if I told you that I lied
And would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?

You've been doing things worthwhile
I've been bookin' time
Try, try, try to let it ride

Would you cry if I told you that I lied
And would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
Would you cry if I told you that I lied
And would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
