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 desperate than reckless or bold I just put it out there cold, too far gone to care My eyes on the road, she slid herself down in the seat And a vision of paradise swung into view Across those five lanes not one driver glanced over to see The beauty known only to me, and a big rig or two On that freeway 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 With the trace of a smile and that defiant look in her eye She hurtled through space in a world of her own And turning aside my caress spoke of all that she'd not yet done As if I was the doubting one who would have to be shown On that freeway 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 She gathered 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 every light in our house come on Like the truth that would eventually dawn Forcing me to decide But on that freeway 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
