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 cowboys burnin' 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 had me holding on another time and place
Ride out the wave

Buried yourself away
The one and only face
Ride out the wave
