I was standing on the corner, waiting for the light.
|
When a silver Eldorodo, pulled up on the right.
|
I was looking for adventure, I was looking for a ride.
|
And both of my prayers were answered when she motioned me inside.
|
|
She said, "Where you going, cowboy?"
|
I said, "Anywhere, but here!"
|
She looked me squarely in the eye,
|
And said, "Well have no fear.
|
I'll get you there in half the time. I love to fast.
|
She winked at me, the light turned green.
|
And the world went flying past.
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
She said, "Boy, I'm gonna give you the ride off your life.
|
We're only gonna do it once, but we're gonna do it right.
|
If you're into taking chances, you better hold on tight.
|
Cause I'm gonna give you the ride of your like.
|
|
We were screaming through the traffic, flying through the night.
|
I was thinking it was cool, passing everything in sight.
|
She took a right on Sunset, then a left on Canyon Drive.
|
And I began to wonder, if I'd make it back alive.
|
|
Like a demon had possessed her,
|
She kept picking up the pace.
|
My heart was beating faster,
|
And the blood drained from my face.
|
A death grip on the armrest, my knuckles turning white.
|
Why is it when you need a cop,
|
There's never one in sight?
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
Now my thirst for adventure, had long since disappeared.
|
And any thoughts of passion, were now overcome by fear.
|
I was praying through anther curve; when suddenly ahead,
|
I saw an intersection, and the light was turning red.
|
|
I was planning my escape, as she was gearing down.
|
When she came to a screeching halt, I jumped out and kissed the ground.
|
The light turned green, I heard her laugh, As she drove out of sight.
|
I realized just what she meant, and was she ever right.
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
