 It’s getting  close to sundown over  the sierra.
Standing  on a heatwave, burning  with desire.
She  was on the sidewalk looking  for a nightlight.
Talked  about the real things and drove  into the fire.
Headlights  on the highway, the desert  wind is howling.
Rattlesnakes  and romance is filling  with the rain.
Candy  apple red dress, bleedin’  when she kissed me.
Heaven  in a ragtop take  away my pain.
 When your chips are down,  when your highs are low  – joy ride (joy  ride).
 Move across the night  like a separate wind  – (joy  ride).
 Fill 1:
Pulled  up to a motel, vacancy  was buzzing.
Pink  and dirty neon, settle  on the hood.
Wrap  your arms around me, come  a little closer.
Stumble  in the twilight and fell  onto the floor.
Lovely  Mona Lisa, dreaming  of the free world.
Lipstick  on the nightstand and demons  outside the door.
 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).
 Reaching for the light,  one that we can’t win  – (joy  ride).
 There’s something  in the distance,  a glorious  existence.
 A simple  celebration,  a place  you never been before.
 So kiss me, tell  me that you want it – whoah  (so kiss me).
 Fill 2:
 Reaching for the light,  one that we can’t 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).
