Woke up to the Rio Grande, Helen Highway
You and me in the backseat, crying
I always knew these were the best of times and I never let them fly by
No matter how they wanted to
Try to slow it down
And the time can slip away
But only if you let it, only if you let it
You try to slow things down
Stay up all night dreaming
And wait for another day
To take, oh to take
That Helen Highway Ride
White knuckle and weary, Lightening and thunder
The rain was pounding down like it was the beating heart of God
When we got to Memphis, we drank our eyes out
The locals were friendly and we obliged
And the time can slip away
But only if you let it, only if you let it
You try to slow things down
Stay up all night dreaming
And wait for another day
To take, oh to take
That Helen Highway Ride
I'll never forget the wild in your eyes
You'll always be my friend
No matter how many years go by
And the years, go by
And I thank God, I thank God, For that Helen Highway ride
