Ridin' By
Natalia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Car broke down on highway 49 today
Had my shades on
You were drivin' by
Pulled over to the side to help me baby

Next thing I know
You had fixed everything
Before you hit the road
Let me buy a coffee for you at the Corner Caf'

Sun shinin'
I was drivin'
You were ridin', ridin' by
Just drivin'
You were ridin'
I was stranded on a warm and sunny day
And you came my way

Where did time go
Enjoyed your company my friend
By the way thank you again
For all of your time
Was very much appreciated

Got to get gone
Step outside to say goodbye
Hop in my ride
Sunroof down
Crank up the stereo

Sun shinin'
I was drivin'
You were ridin', ridin' by
Just drivin'
You were ridin'
I was stranded on a warm and sunny day
And you came my way

Perfect timing
You were ridin' by
Ain't no denying
(Yes) The sun was really shining
Time was flying
The time was flying away

Back on the road
Took off like an eagle flyin'
I feel the wind blow
Smile on my face
Ain't no replacing this feeling baby

In the distance
Clearly I can see the horizon
Feel that bass blow
Pumpin' like a drum
Oh, feel the race of the rythm

Sun shinin'
I was drivin'
You were ridin', ridin' by
Just drivin'
You were ridin'
On a warm and sunshiny day
Sun shinin'
I was drivin'
You were ridin', ridin' by




I was stranded on a warm and sunny day
And you came my way

Sensing the bass pulsating


Pumpin' like a drum
Vibrating like a drum


Oh, feel the race of the rythm
Experiencing the cadence's fast pace
