"Just take off your clothes and I'll drive you home," I said
F
C
Knowing she never could pass on a dare.
F
C
And knowing it sounded more desperate than reckless or bold
G
F
I just put it out there cold, too far gone to care.
C
G
My eyes on the road, she slid herself down in the seat
F
C
And a vision of paradise swung into view.
F
C
Across those five lanes not one driver glanced over to see
G
F
The beauty known only to me, and a big rig or two.
C

On that freeway the light was receding
C
G
F
Her beauty, a sight so misleading
C

I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
C
F
Am
G
On the naked ride home.
C
G
With the trace of a smile and that defiant look in her eye
F
C
She hurtled through space in a world of her own.
F
C
And turning aside my caress spoke of all that she'd not yet done
G
F
As if I was the doubting one, who would have to be shown.
(c:Chorus)
C
G
She gathered her clothes and ran through the yard in the dark
F
C
Up onto the porch like a flash, then inside.
F
C
Then one room at a time I watched every light in our house come on
G
F
Like the truth that would eventually dawn, forcing me to decide.
(c:Chorus)
