I been riding the road since I was a boy
And playing a guitar
And by now you should know that I do what I want
And I mean what I say
When I say
I won't be tied down
I wanna ride my own wave
Oh you been into my face, you been onto my case
You been sneakin' to tame me
And as a matter of fact you been caught in the act
And I'll never look back 'cause you know
I won't be tied down
I wanna ride my own wave
Ride my own wave
Oh you better look out 'cause what I'm about is
I'm about to be sliding
And if you want me to hang
You'll let me do my thing
And you know I ain't lying
Cause I won't be tied down
I wanna ride my own wave
Ooh I wanna ride my own wave
I wanna ride my own wave
I wanna ride my own wave
Ride my wave
