Joy Ride

[Intro]

(Hey!)

[Verse 1]

It's gettin' close to sundown over the Sierra

Stranded on the heat wave, 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 rag top, takes away my, my pain

[Chorus]

When your chips are down, when your highs are low

Joy ride (Joy ride)

Move across the night like a separate wind

(Joy ride)

[Verse 2]

Pulled up to a motel, vacancy was buzzin'

Pink and dirty neon, settled on the hood

Wrapped her arms around me, come a little closer

Stumbled in the twilight and fell onto the floor

Of the Mona Lisa, dreamin' of the free world

Lipstick on the nightstand and demons at the door

[Chorus]

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, more than we can win

(Joy ride)

[Bridge]

There's something in the distance

A glorious existence

A simple celebration

A place you never been before (Why don't you kiss me?)

Tell me that you want it more (Why don'tyoukiss me?)

[Outro]

Reachin' for the light, more than 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)
