She came upon me like a bolt of lightning
The morning road was empty; we were alone
The first thing that she asked, are you running from the past 
Or going home

Cause I just got asked off that train to Eden
They didn't say why I couldn't come along
But as long as we're both here I might as well make clear 
I've been known to do wrong

I told her I was on my way to Denver
I had to leave the city for awhile
Cause things was kind of maybe, and someone told me lately 
I don't smile

Oh, pretty baby are you waiting there for me
And are you gonna take me, are you sure now?
Ooh, laying in your bed
Ooh, you're so cool, you're so warm

She took me on her million dollar joyride
Nothing else to do but hold on fast
She asked me if I'd stay with her just one more day 
And I heard myself gasp

I told her I'd been lucky just to know her
There's a man who's back there trying, but he never will
I thanked her for her grace, and she laughed in my face 
I guess you've had your fill

I told her I'm not much on second chances
I looked down at my feet and then at the sky
And then I heard her say hey sweet boy don't let this one 
Pass you by

Oh, pretty baby are you waiting there for me
And are you gonna take me, are you sure now?
Ooh, laying in your bed
Ooh, you're so cool, you're so warm

I've been on the road since 5 o'clock this morning
Feel like she's been with me all the time
Well I must be overwound cause in my head it sounds
Like I can hear that girl crying

Oh, pretty baby are you waiting there for me
And are you gonna take me, are you sure now?
Ooh, laying in your bed
Ooh, you're so cool, you're so warm
