He's just a kid and loves to ride

Taking the freeway, driving blind

Just like a loaded gun, he pushes down the hammer

Hard to fire



In the embrace of his gasoline lover

Her sleek body wraps all around

Turns on the radio, lights up his cigarette

Takes the lights up, dims them down

A silent Geisha, the perfect seducer

Knows someone is waiting too long



Oh will you be home tonight

Oh please say tou'll be there



He's just a kid who loves to drive

To get out of sight out of his mind

He pushed the hammer down

And shot just like a bullet from a gun



Drunk on the fix of the powerful kick

As he shoots up from zero to speed

Has one more drink of the cold liquid courage

To keep on the level he needs

Soothed by the sound of the wheels on the ground

But he won't hear the tires when they scream...



Oh will you be home tonight

Oh will you be home tonight



Oh will you be home tonight

Oh will you be home tonight
