(HEY)

It's getting close to sundown, over the sierra.
Stranded on a heatwave, burning with desire.
She was on the side walk, looking for a nightlife.
We talked about the real things and drove into the fire.

Headlights on the highway, the desert wind is howling.
Rattle-snakes and romance, are spilling with the rain.
Candy apple red dress, bleeding when she kissed me.
Heaven in a rag-top, 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, 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, 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 go:
Joy ride (Joy Ride).
Reaching for the light, more than we can win.
(Joy Ride).

And something in the distance .
A glorious existence.
A simple celebration.
A place you never went before.
(why don't you kiss me and tell me that you want it?)

Reaching 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.
