Meaning of BTO's "Let It Ride"

While BTO was primarily a “crank it up” group, for thoughtful songs I invite your attention to: Blue Collar and My Wheels Won’t Turn.

Blue Collar and Wheels Won’t Turn are on the 40th Anniversary collection. I think Turner wrote both of them. He wrote or helped cowrite a lot of their songs.

Both are great songs. I bought the 40th Anniversary CD a couple years ago and still play it frequently.
