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