I'm revvinin' my engine, doing hundred and four
I got the throttle open, she won't take no more
'Cause I'm riding, riding into the sun
We're shooting down the highway, got my baby behind
She holds on to my hips and drives me out of my mind
Cause we're riding, riding into the sun
We gotta make it, make it by midnight
If we take it, you know that it's alright
And if we break it, no need to get uptight
Just ride, just ride into the sun
Just ride into the sun
We're cruising and we're broozing and we're having some fun
We're chasing through the country, got the blues on the run
'Cause we're riding, riding into the sun
It's such an easy feeling, with the wind in my hair
I'm burning up the rubber and I don't really care
'Cause I'm riding, riding into the sun
We gotta make it, make it by midnight
And if we take it, you know that it's alright
And if we break it, no need to get uptight
Just ride, just ride into the sun
We gotta make it, make it by midnight
And if we take it, you know that it's alright
And if we break it, no need to get uptight
Just ride, just ride into the sun
Just ride into the sun
Just ride into the sun
Just ride into the sun
Just ride into the sun, yeah
Well we were gettin' ready just the other night
When a knock on the dressing room door
Gave way to a leather jacket little girl
Who we'd never ever seen before
In her red satin dress and her high heeled shoes
Well she took us all by surprise
And when she asked us what we wanted to do
She said it with her eyes
Just getcha rocks off
Well when we finally took the stage there she was
But she wasn't on her own
Because she'd brought some friends maybe 5 or 6
Yeah, she must have been on the phone
And when they started dancing and jumping around
Well we couldn't believe our eyes
Because they'd got the whole damn audience rockin'
And they'd got us paralyzed
Just getcha rocks off
And with this message that I bring to you
A beacon of light to see you through
For time is on our side
And a holy man does say to me
To always to be blind and never to see
It's not the way he planned it, oh no
The time has come to gather up your thoughts
For you have said your piece
The lords of light will change this land
From famine into feast
The buildings that once stood so tall have crumbled to the ground
The silver warriors who came in force are nowhere to be found
Time is the essence the priests do say
To restore your faith in man
For the job you do and the role you play
Will help rebuild this land
Through empty streets and dusty fields we'll fight for what we need
Protected by our swords and shields we can replant the seed
The roads ahead are long and winding
On which the bandits thrive
But we have the power of finding
Illusion to keep us alive
So through the valleys and over the hills we'll march and sing in rhyme
We'll fight until we lose our will for essence is our time
The sun, the moon, the darkened sky
The morning dew reflecting in my eye
The rising mist, the dampened earth
Are just reminders of what life's worth
And with this message that I bring to you
A beacon of light to see you through
For time is on our side
For time is the essence
