The main riff is pretty much the whole song, but listen for the rhythm change
at the
chorus. The bassline and the high F# on the high E string ,together with lots
of feedback and vibrato,make up the quiet interlude right before the cool
part (I found a window in the kitchen...;)

Lyrics:
(beginning and intro)

(verse 1:)
and she runs through her days
with a smile on her face
and she runs, and she waits
and i wait...
(chorus)
(verse 2:)
we can drive to any place
day or night, to cross this state
and in the morning into mexico
we will wake up...   (chorus picks up here)
we will wake up...
we will, yeah,yeah...
i will be with her... yeah,yeah.
(chorus)
(quiet part)
(chorus:)
i found a window in the kitchen
and i let myself in
rummaged through the refrigerator
find myself a beer
i can't believe i'm really here
and she's lyin' in that bed
i can almost feel her touch
and her anxious prayer
i stumble in the hallway
outside her bedroom door
i hear her call out to me
i hear the fear in her voice
she pulls the covers tighter
i press against the door
i will be with her tonight, yeah
i will be with her tonight
i will be with her tonight, yeah
i will be with her tonight
i will be wtih her, yeah...

i will be with her, yeah.
