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 ragtop
Take away my pain


When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride

Move across the night
Like a seperate 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


When your chips are down
When your highs are low

Joyride
Move across the night
Like a seperate wind


When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to go

Joyride
Reaching for the light
Knowing we can't win


Theres something
in the distance

A glorious existance
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
