Joy Ride

                                  It's getting close to sundown over the Sierra

Stranded on the freeway burning with desire

She was on the sidewalk looking for a night light

We talked about the real things

And drove into the fire

Headlights on the highway

The desert wind is howling

Rattlesnakes and romance

Is filling with the rain

Candy apple red dress

Bleeding when she kissed me

Heaven in a rag top

Take away my pain



[Chorus]

When your chips are down

When your highs are low

Joyride

Move across the night

Like a separate wind



Pulled up to a motel

"Vacancy" was buzzing

Pink and dirty neon

Settle on the hood

Wrap your arms around me

Come a little closer

Stumble in the twilight

And fell onto the floor

Loving Mona Lisa

Dreaming of the free world

Lipstick on the nightstand

And demons at the door



[Chorus]



When your hopes and dreams

Lose the will to go

Joyride

Reaching for the light

Knowing we can't win



There's something in the distance

A glorious existence

A simple celebration

A place you've never been before

Tell me that you wanna go



Reaching for the light

Knowing we can't win



When your chips are down

When your highs are low

Joyride



All your hopes and dreams

All you need to know

Joyride
