Lyrics:

Good Bye, Hard Life
Don't Cry Would you let it ride?
(repeat)

You can't see the mornin', but I can see the light
Ride ride ride let it ride
While you've been out runnin' I've been waitin' half the night
Ride ride ride 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? 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
Ride ride ride let it ride
Baby you want the forgivin' kind and that's just not my style
Ride ride ride let it ride

Chorus

I've been doin' things worthwhile, you've been bookin' time
Ride ride ride let it ride

Chorus

Would you let it ride (x4)
(Drum)
Ride ride ride let it ride (x5)
Would you let it ride? (x4)
(Instrumental fade.)

Lyrics:

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...
{Refrain}
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...
{Refrain}

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

{Repeat first 2 verses}

{Refrain}

Takin' care of business (4x)

{Refrain}

Takin' care of business {repeat, fade}
