The ride of your life

I was standing on the corner, waiting for the light
when a silver eldorado pulled up on the right
i was looking for adventure, i was looking for a ride
and both 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 go 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 of your life
we're only gonna do it once but we're gonna do it right
if you're really taking chances you better hold on tight
cause i'm gonna give you the ride of your life
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 on in sight
(repeat chorus)
Now my thirst for adventure had long since disappeared
and any thoughts of passion were now overcome by fear
i was praying through another curve when suddenly ahead
i saw an intersection and the light was turning red
i was planning my escape as she was gearing down
whe we 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 she was ever right
(repeat chorus)
