Lyrics for singles by Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Let It Ride

Goodbye
Hard life
Don't cry
Would you let it ride?

You can't see the mornin', but I can see the light
Try try try to let it ride
While you've been out runnin' I've been waitin' half the night
Try try try to 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?

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

[chorus]

I've been doin' things worthwhile, you've been bookin' time
Try try try to let it ride

[chorus]

Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?

Takin' Care Of Business

You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'

And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be...

Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime

Work out

If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows

People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be...

[chorus]

Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day whoo!

[repeat first verse]

[chorus]

Roll On Down The Highway

We rented a truck and a semi to go
Travel down the long and winding road
Look on the map I think we've been here before
Close the doors let's roll once more

Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to write
I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see
Look in the mirror is he still followin' me?

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway
Roll, roll

Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place
Come on boys, let's get ready to race
454 coming over the hill
The man on patrol is going to give us a bill

The time's real short, you know the distance is long
I'd rather have a jet but it's not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep movin' if we're going to make a buck

[chorus]

You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said, I had it comin' to me
But I wanted it that way

I think that any love is good lovin'
So I took what I could get mmh
Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said:

You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet

And now I'm feelin' better
'Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure

He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get mmh
Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said:

[chorus]

Any love is good love
So I took what I could get mmh
Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said:

[chorus]

You ain't been around
You ain't seen nothin' yet, that's what she told me
She said, I need an education, go to school
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet

Hey You

Hey you, you say you wanna change the world
It's alright, with me there's no regret
It's my turn, the circle game has brought me here
And I won't let down 'till every song is set

You realize now
You should have tried now, oooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha lalala
Hey you, sha lalala
Wooo, sha la la
Wooo, sha la la

Hey you, you say the race is much too fast
It's okay, with me I'm keeping pace
It's my game, the music is inside my head
For every one on top there's one who can't retrace

You realize now
You should have tried now, oooh ooh
The music's gone now, you'll find out
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha lalala
Hey you, sha lalala
Wooo, sha la la la
Wooo, sha la la la

You realize now oooh
You could have died now, oooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, hey you, sha lalala
Hey you, sha lalala
Wooo, sha la la
Wooo, sha la la

Sha lalala, hey you, hey you, hey you
Sha lalala, ba-ba-ba-baby's stupid (?)
Sha lalala, no time, no time left, no time
Sha lalala, don't let me down, don't let me down
