Yola - Ride Out In The Country Lyrics






I take a ride out in the country
Get some wind in my hair
Let it all go like I ain't got a care

I take a ride out in the country
In the soft summer breeze
Forgetting about you
Forgetting about me

Falling out of love with you
Is not an easy thing to do
But you don't care about me, baby
Running here is all I know
The country satisfies my soul
When I think I'm goin' crazy

I take a ride out in the country, it's all I can do
Where the whipper well sings a song so blue

Falling out of love with you
Is not an easy thing to do
But you don't care about me, baby
Running here is all I know
The country satisfies my soul
When I think I'm goin' crazy

I take a ride out in the country
In the soft summer breeze
Forgetting about you
Forgetting about me

Yola Ride Out In The Country Comments
  1. h.... f....

    Just earned yourself a new fan Yola. You're excellent

  2. L.... C....

    Now is she had a girlfriend to help her out, those bodies would be buried deeper. 🍻
    This. Is. A. Jam!

    L.... C....

    Notice how she buried the girlfriend.

  3. g.... ....

    WONDERFUL

  4. W.... K....

    This woman is priceless.

  5. a.... b....

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in NYC and not much country played on the radio. But, I heard this song on the radio last night and wrote down her name. Bought the album immediately and have watched the video at least 25 times, shared it on FB and sent it to all my friends. This girl is a STAR! I read up on her...seems she is British. Wow! She's all country in my book. By the way, LOVED the symbolism of the burial (that IS her, isn't it....took me 10 or so views to realize that!) . Was her abusive relationship with a white guy? just curious.... Please come see us in NYC soon, Yola.

  6. R.... M....

    Wow. She really reminds me of older Tracy Chapman quite a bit. Like a lot.

  7. b.... ....

    Careful - this woman could give country music a good name!!!

  8. F.... T....

    Finding as much of her music as possible, I love her voice so much.... why haven’t I heard of her sooner?

  9. K.... B....

    Who did she bury?

  10. K.... S....

    Yola has such a great - heartfelt voice and presence. Heard about her after the Grammy nominations. Congratulation! Well deserved. Great video too - albeit a bit dark. :)

  11. S.... B....

    Just heard her name mentioned with the new Grammy nominees. After hearing that song and that surprising disturbing yet uplifting video I can see why. I hate to say this, but I'm going to have to start listening to some country music. Tanya Tucker has been on my playlist and now I'm adding Yola!

  12. L.... T....

    ALFO MEDIA mentioned Yola and so here I am.

  13. J.... ....

    Congratulations for your Grammy nomination Yola ❤

  14. c.... ....

    She is glorious

  15. i.... ....

    Glad I found this

  16. G.... O....

    So my interpretation wasn't that "oh he cheated on me, now I'm burying him and his lover" revenge but that she was symbolically burying her relationship; she buries the memories she has of him (the feeling of getting those postcards, the smell of his clothes, those sunglasses he bought her), on top of both him (the person she's letting go of) and herself (the person she was when she was with him).

    That's why she's "forgettin' about you, forgettin' about me"



    y/n?

    G.... O....

    Goodness I hope it is all symbolic! I found the burying the bodies a bit disturbing.

  17. S.... R....

    Literally laughed out loud when I saw the bodies. I just discovered Yola through her moving collaboration with the Highwomen, and this song clinches it: I'm a fan now.

  18. M.... ....

    Great voice..! Was playing on the radio and I just had to find out more. Totally worth it. 😉

    M.... ....

    What type radio, if u don't mind me asking?

    M.... ....

    @Dogen70 Indie new rock - Vodafone FM

  19. K.... K....

    "Forgettin about you, forgettin about me..." That lyric is what made me start paying attention when I first heard this song played on Penguin Radio here in the Wilmington, NC area. I've played it over and over since then. And they are playing it a lot, too! Yola's voice is so rich and beautiful and combined with such stellar songwriting...she is going to be a huge star. I will be seeing her live the next chance I get.

  20. P.... ....

    This is how ya do country right. YOu paying attention Lil Nas? Of course you aren't.

  21. R.... M....

    On my playlist so damn good . I love her style and whoever writes these songs is incredible

  22. M.... k....

    going to see her in Dec in New Jersey
    lover her music, cant wait

  23. r.... d....

    you had me at big black girl driving an old chevy truck

  24. M.... M....

    Ha I love it! 😂 More Motown than really "Country", but I really REALLY enjoyed it. This is my first song of your's i've listened to, can't wait to see what else you got.

    M.... M....

    That is not a motown sound in the least

  25. C.... H....

    Lawd ham mersay! This is real country! How it sounded when I was a kid in the ‘70’s....reaching through the speaker of my transistor radio and ripping my heart out while squeezing my soul with the subtle exchange of each lyric and chord.

    This IS rich and it needs to be spent. This song and album are among my top 3 favorites of this year and have fast become my go-to that makes me drop all my stresses to get lost in the assuring comfort Lola sings.

  26. W.... J....

    Do you mean to tell me that you can like country life without being an ignorant hillbilly? I'm down with that!

  27. C.... C....

    Love Love Love your sound

  28. C.... C....

    Well.. that escalated quickly.

  29. M.... C....

    Heard this on country hits, fell in love with how simply it helped me to be okay.

  30. m.... ....

    Dam! Real music does still exist???

  31. S.... F....

    Brilliance

  32. P.... M....

    Gorgeous voice, gorgeous woman!

  33. C.... S....

    Magnificent song.... you sound like a veteran of the Nashville scene amazing that it's your debut. Hope you tour Australia soon

  34. B.... V....

    Oh my - girl your voice is like warm honey - gorgeous!!!

  35. l.... ....

    I luv this because it's different, it's not like other new country and it's out there and amazing!

  36. B.... C....

    I love the sound and the song. But I could have dealt with out watching the video after the point where she was burring bodies . Why is it when it comes to Black people every thing is about violence

    B.... C....

    Are you new to country? There have always been murder ballads.

  37. j.... s....

    WOW! What a great voice

  38. E.... G....

    that intro pulled me in like whoa.

  39. L.... S....

    Yola, I work for a magazine in Cincinnati. You're supposed to do a concert here in January 2020. Would love to do a spotlight.

  40. M.... ....

    Her voice is a gift... her sound is piece of art!!

  41. P.... ....

    Outlaw Country brought me here.

  42. C.... H....

    She opened up for Kacey Musgraves last Thursday in St. Louis and WOW!!!!!! Amazing talent that isn’t going to waste 👌🏼

  43. J.... N....

    I had to find out who Yola was after hearing Highwoman and holy crap. Yola.... I am speechless. Just incredible. On repeat Now!

  44. B.... ....

    First heard Yola on WFUV and was instantly hooked. She has an extraordinary voice and the entire album is brilliant...each song a gem. Bought the album for my 90 year old father who is a huge fan (and knowledge base!) of the great female vocalists from the 20s-60s...he's had Yola on continuous loop and raves about it every time I visit. Thanks for the gift of your music.

  45. T.... W....

    Best voice I've heard in a long time. So much range and just as good live. Country, Blues, and rock sound. A lot of cross genre appeal. Makes me think of Bonnie Raitt in that regard. And she looks different and sounds different (British speaking voice) than anyone else out there. She should be a star. Hats off to Kacey Musgraves for allowing a powerhouse voice like that open for her.

  46. M.... T....

    Love it

  47. C.... K....

    Oh wow! I just discovered her through Vogue; what a beautiful voice, and lovely sound! Adding her to my playlist.

  48. �.... �....

    Ah!!! What a masterpiece!!!

  49. 1.... P....

    shared this on Facebook! / heeft dit gedeeld op Facebook!

  50. C.... ....

    Been to her yesterday it was absolutely amazing she's a lovable person and she can sing like the best of em.

  51. S.... A....

    So grateful to have discovered the music of Yola. Makes summer nights all the more lovely.

  52. K.... ....

    Seems like the only good thing Shapiro has ever done is bring a little more focus on this incredible singer songwriter

  53. M.... ....

    well that had an unexpected turn. lol

  54. A.... D....

    just found her (NOT via ben shapiro 🤮) and i'm in love

    A.... D....

    Wait, just out of curiosity, what does Ben Shapiro have to do with this?😂

    A.... D....

    Watch it bruh, Ben Shapiro is my dad

    A.... D....

    @Flute Løøps Apparently Shapiro mentioned he likes her sound and his people have been coming to check her out. I finally found something to put in the the center of my Ben Shapiro Venn diagram.

  55. D.... W....

    I love this.

  56. F.... M....

    Didn't know about her until Railbird festival here in Lexington, KY!!! Hey y'all!! Black woman singing country I can dig it!!! Check out KeKe Wyatt covering Tennessee whiskey and one of her own country songs(can't remember name) but it is beautiful!!!

  57. r.... ....

    Baby girl don’t you let Country Music define you by color, because we should be way past that, we should be thinking about the music, and girl you get it and got it.. your voice could be heralded in any form of music.. the fact you picked Country being from another country, proves it modern reach, and more it shows that country music is good because it applies to ALL PEOPLES, so thank you for coming to us..

  58. 9.... ....

    i have been wondering for days, where this tune sounds familiar to me. Bob Dylan the man in me from the big lebowski movie.

  59. S.... R....

    Two seconds in and I’m sold! See you tomorrow Yola! ❤️✨❤️

  60. C.... ....

    Yola is so amazing saw her last night open for Lake Street Dive. Such an amazing singer. So beautiful. Love this song. Happy birthday Yola. Need to see you again and again!!!!😍

    C.... ....

    Wow. What a great combo of performers!

  61. R.... U....

    My bumble bee 🐝 my cute Yola Carter n m nva enough listening to her. God bless u

  62. A.... O....

    Wow. That’s one hilariously dark video. Beautiful song - amazing voice.

  63. T.... ....

    Who went here after watching Ben Shapiro?

  64. r.... a....

    happy to see that the likes had increased since ben shapiro mentioned her on his show .

  65. A.... K....

    Great voice. Love this ❣️

  66. S.... ....

    Beautiful voice 💜

  67. b.... s....

    Go back and listen on Shapiro, different heavy steel guitar country edition I believe.

  68. b.... s....

    Thanks Ben

  69. S.... G....

    Here because of ben shapiro. He's right--this is so good!! She's an amazing singer!

  70. m.... ....

    Strange shit - she's British, what can you expect? The British are strange people.

  71. S.... K....

    Yola where you been all my life?! She is amazing! Shapiro praised her and I can see why.

  72. H.... ....

    Ben sent me here, know I got some new music

  73. R.... G....

    Thank you Ben Shapiro for bringing me here! Absolutely beautiful!

    R.... G....

    Me too, Ben Shapiro some things I like. She is awesome singer.

    R.... G....

    yes it was ben for me too

  74. r.... r....

    Amazing!!! Yola is a true talent!

  75. D.... T....

    Very rarely does a song grab you the very first time you hear it. This is one of those songs.

  76. L.... A....

    Ben Shapiro brought me here.

    L.... A....

    Same. And I'm not a fan of country music, but seeing how Ben has little-to-no appreciation for modern music (let alone anything released in the past century), his recommendation made me curious. So I came and became immediately glued. Her voice is really soothing and the song wasn't quite as country as I expected to be...but still pretty country..."pretty" being the operative word there. Kind of Dolly Partonish, maybe? Fairly accessible country but without the need to infuse pop like Taylor Swift or Shania Twain had to attain mass appeal, I'd say. Just "nothing to not like" country, I suppose. I will shut up now.

    L.... A....

    blksbth1 when did he talk about her???

    L.... A....

    @fuducker2 about a month ago, the day I first made this comment.

  77. W.... ....

    Ben Shapiro sent me

  78. S.... ....

    Unreal. Amazing stuff. All I can say is thanks.

  79. M.... S....

    I've been listening to this voice for this voice for all of two minutes and already I'm hooked. Great stuff. Mesmerizing.

  80. S.... ....

    greetigs from Austria 🙌🙌🚸

  81. L.... H....

    I cannot wait to see you in KC, YOLA!!!! 🥰💓💓💓

  82. K.... R....

    I saw her at Black Deer Festival
    She was fantastic

  83. V.... d....

    Que linda, parabéns pelo talento. 🥰

  84. P.... ....

    Effortlessly beautiful! This song calms me down.

  85. C.... C....

    So so so so so amazing!!!

  86. B.... W....

    Best new instant star since Shania Twains debut album 💕😌

  87. m.... ....

    Just saw her in a Dutch show called M, minutes ago. Love love it!

  88. M.... T....

    Damn, what a voice. Her album is absolutely fantastic. Kinda 70's R&B Soul Motown meets country. Every song is a keeper.

  89. N.... S....

    This aint country you godamn hipsters. But it sounds like some solid 60s and 70s AM gold. Phoebe Snow meets Delaney & Bonnie. POW!

    N.... S....

    Dobie Gray too.

  90. G.... ....

    Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

  91. E.... B....

    Ohh how Beautiful 🌹.. love her 💕

  92. J.... H....

    Great song! Great video! Yola is getting rid of those dirt bags. She don't need no dirtbag dudes hangin her up, she's got her own thing going on...

  93. O.... W....

    if there’s ever such thing as a ‘gorgeous’ song, this is it.

  94. B.... E....

    Why can't all music from the 21st Century be this good. Simply honest and soulful... with just the right dash of old school country. And she maybe using it but I don't hear any pitch modulation. Absolutely amazing stuff. Yola, thank you for this.

  95. D.... o....

    Yola touring with Kacey Musgraves is the perfect pairing. Two of the Country music's most important voices together. Can't wait!

  96. m.... ....

    Her album is amazing it’s Roberta Flack meets Fleetwood Mac. I’m in luv. I just discovered her

  97. S.... B....

    Boy, when I first heard this song I thought the great Roberta Flack could have had another top ten hit with this in 1979 ... but it’s 2019, and Yola sings country, and Yola & country ain’t gonna let you feel good without giving you a little bit of a dark back story in there too! Perfect!

    S.... B....

    what an awesome response Sim! couldnt love this more... big love for the Roberta Flack reference!

    S.... B....

    Easy Eye Sound Thank you!
