Beneath the dance hall lights, You seem a girl so south, Lights up the ground, If you give up New York, I'll give up Tenessee, The only place to be The cowboy's burning eyes, Don't like the sight of me To straight, enough to breathe I like your point of view, So don't you shy away Ride out the wave (3x) (Instrumental) Ride out the wave (2x) You had me holding on Another time and place Ride out the wave Carry yourself away The one and only place Ride out the wave (3x)
