Beneath the dance hall lights,
You seem a girl so sound,
Lights up the ground.
If you give up New York,
I'll give you Tennessee,
The only place to be.

The cowboy's burning eyes,
Don't like the sight of me,
Just straight enough to breed.
I like your point of view,
So don't you shy away,
Ride out the wave.

Ride out the wave.
Ride out the wave.

Ride out the wave.
Ride out the wave.
You had me holding on
Another time and place.
Ride out the wave.
Buried yourself away
The one and only face,
Ride out the wave.
Ride out the wave.
Ride out the wave.
