I love your sunny skies
and the cool tunes that you write
I love the honky-tonk nights
born again in your river I was baptised.

You bring my soul back to life
ride the raging river, ride the raging river
I need your electricity
ride the raging river, ride to raging river
this city sets my spirit free

I love your friendly smiles
and your sweet Southern style
I love the twang in your soul
I'm a prisoner of fear out on parole.

You bring my soul back to life
ride the raging river, ride the raging river
I need your electricity
ride the raging river, ride to raging river
this city sets my spirit free

You bring my soul back to life
ride the raging river, ride the raging river
I need your electricity
ride the raging river, ride to raging river
this city sets my spirit free

This city hits the perfect key she sets my spirit free

I love your friendly smiles
and your sweet Southern style
I love the twang in your soul
I'm a prisoner of fear out on parole.

You bring my soul back to life
ride the raging river, ride the raging river
I need your electricity
ride the raging river, ride to raging river
this city sets my spirit free

You bring my soul back to life
ride the raging river, ride the raging river
I need your electricity
ride the raging river, ride to raging river
this city sets my spirit free
