Intro: Verse I: "Just take off your clothes and I'll drive you home," I said Knowing she never could pass on a dare. And knowing it sounded more desperate than reckless or bold I just put it out there cold, too far gone to care. Verse II: My eyes on the road, she slid herself down in the seat And a vision of paradise swung into view. Across those five lanes not one driver glanced over to see The beauty known only to me, and a big rig or two. Chorus: On that freeway the light was receding Her beauty, a sight so misleading I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone On the naked ride home. Verse III: With the trace of a smile and that defiant look in her eye She hurtled through space in a world of her own. And turning aside my caress spoke of all that she'd not yet done As if I was the doubting one, who would have to be shown. (c:Chorus) Break Chords: Verse IV: She gathered her clothes and ran through the yard in the dark Up onto the porch like a flash, then inside. Then one room at a time I watched every light in our house come on Like the truth that would eventually dawn, forcing me to decide. (c:Chorus) ......on out.
