"Night Ride Home" lyrics

Once in a while, in a big blue moon there comes a night like this
Like some surrealist invented
This Fourth of July night ride home

Hula girls and Caterpillar tractors in the sand
The ukulele man, the fireworks
This Fourth of July night ride home

I love the man beside me
We love the open road
No phones 'til Friday
Far from the overkill, far from the overload

Back at the bar, the band tears down but out here in the headlight beams
The silver power lines gleam
On this Fourth of July night ride home

Round the curve and a big dark horse, red taillights on his hide
Is keeping right alongside, rev for stride
Fourth of July night ride home

I love this man beside me
We love the open road
No phones 'til Friday
Far from the undertow, far from the overload

Once in awhile, in a big blue moon there comes a night like this
Like some surrealist invented
This Fourth of July night ride home

Night ride home
Night ride home
