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
