Joy Ride [Flowers/Keuning/Stoermer/Vannucci]

Hey

It's getting close to sundown over the Sierra
Stranded on the heatway 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 ragtop takes away my pain

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joy ride
(Joy ride)

Move across the night
Like a seperate wind
(Joy ride)

Pulled up to a motel, "Vacancy" was buzzing
Pink and dirty neon, settle on the hood
Wrapped her arms around me, "Come a little closer"
Stumbled 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

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joy ride
(Joy ride)

Move across the night
Like a seperate wind
(Joy ride)

When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to glow
Joy ride
(Joy ride)

Reaching for the light
Woman, we can win
(Joy ride)

There's something in the distance
A glorious existance
A simple celebration
A place you've never been before
(Kiss me)

Tell me that you wanna go-oh
(Kiss me)

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Reaching for the light
Woman, we can win

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

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)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
