She's My Ride Home Lyrics

I (like most people) bought this CD for "hate me," but i have to say that this is perhaps the best song on the album.

This song to me is about escape. we can (and probably will) debate the mode and motive of escape that he is referring to...but i don't think it really matters.

"We drive to leave the past and clear the mind." how many of us do this? i know i do. there is nothing better than driving on a warm night...just to escape and feel better; that is what this song feels like to me. i think it's about a man asking a woman to trust him and just run away with him, against all odds.

i also have to wonder if it's a reference to drugs...maybe he's introduced her to something new...

anyone else have a take on this song? i'm not familiar with band's background...
