Intro:  C  F  Am  G

Verse I:
C                                              G
"Just take off your clothes and I'll drive you home,"  I said
F                                 C
Knowing she never could pass on a dare.
F                                          C
And knowing it sounded more desperate than reckless or bold
              G                               F
I just put it out there cold, too far gone to care.

Verse II:
C                                     G
My eyes on the road, she slid herself down in the seat
F                                   C
And a vision of paradise swung into view.
F                                              C
Across those five lanes not one driver glanced over to see
                 G                            F
The beauty known only to me, and a big rig or two.

Chorus:
        C   G       F
On that freeway the light was receding
    C   G     F
Her beauty, a sight so misleading
  C         G        F                       G
I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
                  C     F  Am  G
On the naked ride home.

Verse III:
C                                          G
With the trace of a smile and that defiant look in her eye
F                                           C
She hurtled through space in a world of her own.
F                                    C
And turning aside my caress spoke of all that she'd not yet done
                G                                  F
As if I was the doubting one, who would have to be shown.

(C:Chorus)

Verse IV:
C                                            G
She gathered her clothes and ran through the yard in the dark
F                                      C
Up onto the porch like a flash, then inside.
F                                       C
Then one room at a time I watched every light in our house come on
                           G                               F
Like the truth that would eventually dawn, forcing me to decide.

(C:Chorus)
