The Ride Of Your Life

I was standing on the corner, waiting for the light

When a silver Eldorado pulled up on the right

I was looking for adventure, I was looking for a ride

And both 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 go 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 of your life

We're only gonna do it once but we're gonna do it right

If you're really taking chances you better hold on tight

Cause I'm gonna give you the ride of your life

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 on in sight

(Repeat chorus)

Now my thirst for adventure had long since disappeared

And any thoughts of passion were now overcome by fear

I was praying through another curve when suddenly ahead

I saw an intersection and the light was turning red

I was planning my escape as she was gearing down

Whe we 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 she was ever right

(Repeat chorus)
