About the Artist
Lyrics
Moving on the floor now, babe, you're a bird of paradise Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice With a step to your left and a flick to the right You catch that mirror way out west You know you're something special, and you look like you're the best Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through a dusty land And when she shines, she really shows you all she can Oh, Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV Two of a billion stars, it means so much to me Like a birthday or a pretty view But then, I'm sure that you know it's just for you Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through a dusty land And when she shines, she really shows you all she can Oh, Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande Hey now, woo, look at that Did she nearly run you down? At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive You make me feel alive, alive, alive I'll take my chance, 'cause luck is on my side or something I know what you're thinking, I'll tell you something, I know what you're thinking Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twists across a dusty land And when she shines, she really shows you all she can Oh, Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand And I might find her if I'm looking like I can Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
