Joyride - Choke Up

Engines thunder through midnight avenues

Where boys and girls get sad together

Burn out on bad luck and patiently surrender

To the tightening binds of our parents' lives

Slip under the covers

And let history become us overnight

Jenny, remember

When we were young and thought we could outrun

The plans we made with oblivion?

Beneath pool hall lights and neon signs

We held communion with the demoralized

The keys were in that car when we spilled out of the bar

Onto the midnight avenue

I can still feel the wind on my flushed face

And hear that Chevy engine roar

White knuckles and torn blue jeans

Your hair an auburn storm in the passenger seat

In the rear view mirror

The lights of our hometown disappear

Thunder Road on the radio

A fuel-injected sermon for the restless souls

Hey, that was you and that was me

Wild hearts on a dark street

Racing fate and placing faith in love and clemency

Jenny, remember?
