There`s a quiet time in the early dawn
Before the mornin` paper, before the coffee`s on
When there ain`t much movin` in the world outside
Oh I`d love to take a mornin` ride
My baby knows it`s the time we share
She wakes me gently, brushes back her hair
And she moves into my arms sweet and slow
I can`t wait to get up and go
Gonna take my baby on a mornin` ride
When the sun comes slippin` `round the mountainside
`Bout an hour, maybe two
Ain`t nothin` me and her would rather do
Than see the green grass glist`nin` in the mornin` dew
While the world`s still damn spankin` new
Oh I know how beautiful the day will be
When she takes a mornin` ride with me
And when we get back, it will feel so right
To just lay back and linger in the mornin` light
Then she`ll smile at me, thinkin` where we`ve been
Wantin` me to take her again
I`m gonna take my baby on a mornin` ride
When the sun comes slippin` `round the mountainside
For an hour, maybe two
Ain`t nothin` me and her would rather do
Than see the green grass glist`nin` in the mornin` dew
While the world`s still damn spankin` new
Oh I know how beautiful the day will be
When she takes a mornin` ride with me
Oh I`m gonna take my baby on a mornin` ride
When the sun comes slippin` `round the mountainside
`Bout an hour, maybe two
Ain`t nothin` me and her would rather do
...and fade
