Browne Jackson
The Naked Ride Home
Just take off your clothes
and i'll drive you home i said
Knowing she never could pass on a dare
and Knowing it sounded more desprate then reckless or bold
I just put it out there cold
to far gone to care
My eyes on the road she slid herself down in her seat
and a vision of paradise swung into view
accros those five lanes not one driver glanced over to see
the beaty known only to me
and a big rig or two
But on that free-way the light was receding
her beaty a sight so misleading
i failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
on the naked ride home
with the trace of a smile and that defient look in her eyes
she hurtled through space in a world of her own
and turning aside my carress spoke of all she had not yet done as if i was the doubting one and would have to be shown
But on that free-way the light was receding
her beauty a sight so misleading
i faild to hear the heart that was beating alone
on the naked ride home
she gatherd her clothes and ran through the yard in the dark
up onto the porch like a flash and inside
then one room at a time i watched as every light in our house came on
like the truth that would eventually dawn
forcing me to decide
but on that free-way the light was receding
her beauty a sight so misleading
I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
on the naked ride home
