well baby I swear I’m a glamorous man
though I don’t drive a fancy car
the wheels I got tonight ain’t made of gold
but they’ll take us far
you say you want to know who I really am
where I’ve been, my point of view
we can talk about it all night
but you know I’d rather go there with you
so come on darlin
let’s take a ride
grab your coat
fix your hair up right
the stars they shine
and the moonlight’s bright
on the highway tonight
when I was a boy, my papa said,
“son, don’t be a crazy fool.”
“keep your head on straight, boy stay in school,
“this old world can be cruel.”
well I’m a bright-eyed scholarly man
and though this economy ain’t been kind
I take one day at a time, honey I’ll be yours
if you’ll be mine
so come on darlin
let’s take a ride
grab your coat
fix your hair up right
the stars they shine
and the moonlight’s bright
on the highway tonight
you’re standing at your window
wondering if things will be alright
I’ve been there before darlin, I swear
I’ve prayed ‘neath the same streetlight
I’m here to tell you, lady
don’t worry your head none
we ain’t alone in this world
we ain’t the only ones
I never put much faith in the end of days
always feeling like a wolf at my heels
but when the sun goes down I wait for the sweet sound
of something true, something real
the choir of the twilight crowds
the thunder of the evening train
the low hum of the flashing cars
harmonize like heavenly rain
so come on darlin
let’s take a ride
grab your coat
fix your hair up right
the stars they shine
and the moonlight’s bright
on the highway tonight
