The Ride Of Your Life — текст песни (Restless Heart)

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)
