Night Ride Home Lyrics - Mitchell Joni

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 4th of July 

Night ride home 

I love the man beside me 

We love the open road 

No phones till 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 the man beside me 

We love the open road 

No phones till 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 

On a night ride home 

On a night ride home 

Night ride home
