Lyrics

[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)
