The song "Ride Your Pony" by Neville is a classic example of a groovy, upbeat tune that is perfect to dance to. The lyrics of the song encourage the listener to ride their pony and do their thing, which is another way of saying to be yourself and let loose. The line "you got to do it now" adds a sense of urgency to the song, as if the singer is imploring the listener to seize the moment and let go.
The lyrics then go on to mention various cities and regions in the United States, all of which have their unique styles and cultures, from New York City to New Orleans. The line "sant luis where the girls are free" hints at a kind of hippie culture, where people are free-spirited and live by their own rules. The chorus repeats the injunction to "ride your pony," suggesting that this is the key to unlocking a sense of freedom and joy.
