Ride All Night
Joe Louis Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See it in your eyes
That is something changed
I hear it in your voice
When you call my name

We gotta get away
Just me and you
Forget about yesterday
And here's what we gonna do

We gonna ride, yeah
We gonna ride all night
Gonna ride all night
We gotta move it all down the lot, alright

Alright, we gonna ride all night
Baby, hold on tight
'Cause we gonna ride all night

When tomorrow comes
We'll be still hanging strong
Within fifty is good
It just can't be wrong

Head for the wild, wild west
Across the desert sands
Spend the night in the canyon top
Out in nowhere land

We gonna ride all night
We gonna ride all night
We gonna ride all night
We gotta move it all down the lot, alright

Alright, we gonna ride all night
Baby, hold on tight
'Cause we gonna ride, ride
Ride all night, alright

Get out on the highway, baby
Take it in a while
No matter where we going, girl
You know we, we gonna make it there

We gonna ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We gonna ride all night, ride alright
Baby, gonna hold me tight
We gonna ride, ride, ride, ride alright

Alright, baby, come and hold me tight
We gotta ride, come on, baby




Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright, alright, alright
I said, "Baby, baby, baby, won't you hold me tight?"
