Beneath the dance hall lights You see my 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 breathe I like your point of view So don't shy away Ride out the wave Ride out the wave You had me holding on Another time and place Ride out the wave Bury yourself away The one and only face Ride out the wave Ride out the wave
