Lyrics[]
If I had a car and you were riding in it I'd show you what my car could do I'd head east out highway fifteen and see the Starlight shower over you Gas fumes rising from the blacktop Cheap motels with flashing signs Just an old sweet song made new And oozing through the pines If I had thirty dollars and I could make time stop And the moon was high up above And moonbeams fell like sweet cream Then the night air would carry our dark dreams Gas fumes rising on the highway Neon flashing everywhere Just an old sweet song made new by your body And desert flowers blooming in the thick night air
