Beneath the dance hall lights You seen 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 cowboys burning eyes Don't like the sight of me Just straight enough to breathe 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 held holding on Another time and place Ride out the wave And lead yourself away Your one and only fate Ride out the wave Ride out the wave Ride out the wave
