Good bye, hard life
Don't cry, would you let it ride?

You can see the mornin', but i can see the light
Try, try, try, let it ride
While you've been out runnin' i've been waitin' half the night
Try, try, try, let it ride

(chorus)
And would you cry if i told you that i lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let it ride?
Good bye, hard life, don’t cry, would you let it ride?

Babe, my life is not complete, i never see you smile
Try, try, try, let it ride
Baby you want the forgivin' kind, and that's just not my style
Try, try, try, let it ride

I've been doin' things worthwhile, and i’ve been bookin' time
Try, try, try, let it ride
Runnin’ with the crazy crowd, ooh, ain’t no friends o’ mine
Try, try, try, let it ride

Would you let it ride (x4)
(drum)
Try, try, try, let it ride (x5)
Just let it ride (x4)
(instrumental fade.)
