I took a ride past the river
Find my way out to the sea
I need some air, I need a cool breeze blowing
Because the big town sure don't like me.
I see a big wave coming
Woah! She's coming for me!
I want to ride on that big wave
And let it come down on me

I'm laying back, on the shoreline
Let my face take a piece of the sky
I should be there, out on the big blue,
We're letting too much precious time go sailing by.
Riding on a big wave
That's how it should be
Riding on the big wave
That's where I wanna be.

Big wave washing away all my troubles
Big wave wiping out my past
Dive into her deepest dark water
Oh, big wave set me free at last.
Riding on the big wave
That's where I wanna be.
