Don't worry, sweet baby
Don't you ever worry about a thing
Put your worries on the shelf
Learn to love yourself
Don't be your own worst enemy

Hang loose, hang loose
Let the ocean worry about being blue
Hang loose, hang loose
Flow with the tide and I'ma take care of you

Come with me, sweet darling
I got a seat, a ticket for the plane
We gonna fly to Waikiki
It'll just be you and me
And we'll let the sun melt our cares away

Hang loose, hang loose,
Let the ocean worry about being blue
Hang loose, hang loose
Flow with the tide and I'ma take of you

We're alright, we gonna be alright
We're alright, we gonna be alright

Hang loose
Hang loose
Hang loose
Hang loose

Don't worry sweet baby!
Don't you ever worry about a thing
Put them worries on the shelf and learn to love yourself
Don't be your own worst enemy

Hang loose, hang loose
Let the ocean worry about being blue
Hang loose, hang loose
Go with the tide and I'ma take care of you

Come with me sweet darlin'
I got a seat ticket for the plane
We gonna fly to Waikiki, it'll just be you and me
And we'll let the sun melt our cares away

Hang loose, hang loose
Let the ocean worry about being blue
Hang loose, hang loose
Go with the tide and I'ma take care of you

Alright, we gonna be alright
Alright, you're gonna be alright!

Hang loose [4x

This band is so great in every way. They had humble beginnings & made good, but they don't indulge in flashy fluff. They can afford to keep it real because they are authentic. So rare these days.

I just found this group quite by accident today. I am totally in love with their sound! It's about time we had some real vocal talent and real instruments without all the distorted sounds of synthesizers and computers. Kuddos to this band! Signed, A New Fan

What a beautiful 'classic' yet fresh sound they have..... sometimes it sounds like a great mix of Big Brother and Holding Company, Al Green, and Van Morrison.

Parts of this song have a Creedance Clearwater Revival sound. I can't stop listening to the first CD! They have an Otis Redding - Janis Joplan passion to them that touches my heart and soul and spreads through my whole body!!!!!

This is a really good band. She has a explosive voice and they have some pretty good songs. I hope they sell a ton of records. It is amazing what accounts for music now days. She has a good voice compared to a lot of what you hear on the radio.

Ramona Leigh Raw

I just discovered this band while watching SNL last night. I'm taken in 100% and my ears are thankful too.

I've just realised what this song kind of reminds me of: Viva Las Vegas! "I'm gonna keep on the run/ I'm gonna have me some fun /if it costs me my very last dime..." It's in the verses - not the chorus - and not really in an overt way, so that's OK. Love this band.
