Hello, anyone have an interpretation of Let It Ride? I'm especially wondering about the lines:
I knew a man from Windsor went to Detroit every night,
Stateside of the tunnel custom agents gave him fright.
He hid his stash in the river put his bedroll on the ground.
And when they finally got there a sleeping man was all they found.
Did this man traffic drugs across the border then, or is this a metaphor for something else? At the beginning of the song, Gord says these statements are not connected, but they had to originate from somewhere. I've never seen this song analyzed, so I'd like to open it up for discussion.
