Song Lyrics

Desert highway to a memory, I said that I'd come back for you
By the jukebox at the starlight grill, kickin' out an Elvis tune
Are you waitin', little sister, killin' time and dreamin' too
You need a fraction of long distance love, I'm driving all night for you, yeah

I'm gonna be there in a big way, you can leave the radio on
Like an outlaw, like Jesse James, another hundred miles is gone
Sunrise to sundawn, I'm gonna turn you around, yeah

Baby I've been so lonely, what am I s'pposed to do
Out in the sun with passion, out of my head for you
Baby my heart's a mustang, just let it run its course
Take it up by the river, I'm gonna give you more

Ride the rockin' horse, hey, ride the rockin' horse, yeah
Got the top down, wishin' on a star, underneath the Spanish moon
Golden Earring on the radio, radar love is coming through
She's a station on the interstate, I'm coming with a message of love
In the saddle, you can ride all night, rock your reins around my glove, yeah

Sunrise to sundawn, I'm gonna turn you around, yeah
Baby I've been so lonely, what's a man s'pposed to do
Out in the sun with passion, out of my head for you
Proof papa's got the fever, just let it run its course
Take it up by the river, I'm gonna give you more

Ride the rockin' horse, hey, ride the rockin' horse

Baby I've been so, baby I've been so, baby I've been so lonely
(Ride the rockin' horse) Lo-lo-lo-lo-lonely, lonely, yeah
Baby I've been so, out of my head for you, whoah (ride the rockin' horse)
Baby I've been so lonely, baby baby baby (ride the rockin' horse)
Babe I've been so lonely, what am I gonna do, thank you New York

(Ride the rockin' horse) (repeats out)
