You're livin' what you had to say
The poem's in the day-to-day
You don't ask for much
You just drift away
Into the big ol' blue
Goin' deep is not your style
So you're fathomless behind the smile
You're almost there
Just one more mile
With a pebble in your shoe
You're an artist like we've never seen
No storybook or magazine
No wishing well or magic bean
Could ever be so true
You just ride that wave
You just ride that wave
You got no need to understand
All the things that didn't go as planned
You just play the joker in your hand
It's the best that you can do
You never stop to analyze
All the tendencies and tart replies
You just try the next one on for size
And hold your follow through
And you ride
You just ride
You're icy with a shot of juice
Some undercover foreign truce
You know just when to turn it loose
And change your point of view
Then you send a Christmas card
Knowing fully well that life is hard
But you're unashamed to drop your guard
And teach us all a thing or two
The sun is setting, sinking low
But you've always got somewhere to go
When nature calls it's who you know
It's not exactly new
You just ride that wave
You just ride that wave
You just ride
