Joy Ride

It's gettin' close to sundown over the Sierra Stranded on the heatwave, burnin' with desire She was on the sidewalk lookin' for a nightlife We talked about the real things and drove into the fire Headlights on the highway The desert wind is howlin' Rattlesnakes and romance are spillin' with the rain Candy apple red dress Bleedin' when she kissed me Heaven in a ragtop Take away my pain When your chips are down When your highs are low Joy ride (joy ride) Move across the night Like a separate wind (Joy ride) Pulled up to a motel Vacancy was buzzin' Pink and dirty neon Settle on the hood Wrapped her arms around me Come a little closer Stumble in the twilight And fell onto the floor Lovin' Mona Lisa Dreamin' of the free world Lipstick on the nightstand And demons at the door When your chips are down When your highs are low Joy ride (joy ride) Move across the night Like a separate wind (Joy ride) When your hopes and dreams Lose the will to go Joy ride (joy ride) Reachin' for the light One that we can win (Joy ride) There's somethin' in the distance A glorious existence A simple celebration A place you've never been before Tell me that you want it more Reachin' for the light One that we can win When your chips are down (when your chips are down) When your highs are low Joy ride (joy ride) All your hopes and dreams All you need to know Joy ride (joy ride)
