It's getting close to sundown over the Sierra Stranded on a heatwave burning with desire She was on the sidewalk looking for a nightlife We talked about the real things And drove into the fire Headlights on the highway The desert wind is howling Rattlesnakes and romance Spilling 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 Joy ride Move across the night Like a separate wind
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 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 Joy ride Move across the night Like a separate wind
When your hopes and dreams Lose the will to go Joy ride Reaching for the light One that we can win
there's something in the distance A glorious existence A simple celebration A place you've never been before (Why don't you kiss me?) Tell me that you want it more
Reaching for the light One that we can win
When your chips are down When your highs are low Joy ride
All your hopes and dreams All you need to know Joyride
