The Groove Line
Heat Wave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pack your grip, takin' you on a trip
Ain't no seats, all we got's dancin' feet

Leave you worries behind
'Cause rain, shine, won't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

Get this train, know you'll be glad you came
Hit the track, party hard there and back

Leave you worries behind
'Cause rain, shine, don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh

Check out, the wheels are turnin', you know we won't stop
We got this boiler burnin', we're keepin' it hot

So grab your friends, get the train comin' through
Climb on board where you leave's up to you

Leave you worries behind
'Cause rain, shine, don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh

Leave you worries behind
'Cause rain, shine, don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh

Check out, the wheels are turnin', you know we won't stop
We got this boiler burnin', we're keepin' it hot

So grab your friends, get the train comin' through
Climb on board where you leave's up to you

Leave you worries behind
'Cause rain, shine, don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh

'Cause rain, shine, don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

Uh uh uh

'Cause rain, shine, don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

Uh uh uh

'Cause rain, shine, won't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

Uh uh uh

'Cause rain, shine, don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

That refrain ("Leave your worries behind, 'cause rain, shine..." etc.) is just about the best melodic line I have ever heard. I will never get tired of this song.

At 38 yrs young. I’m here for those lines! Going through some tough times and I didn’t know why I kept hearing this beat in my mind until I found myself here !!

@AnAdorableWombat1

I completely agree!

@skippy7208

Songs were generally more positive and optimistic in those days 👌
