I think this song simply represents most red-blooded American Guy\'s fantasy of a chance encounter with a girl in need of a ride to any destination, which he gladly offers be it for innocent or nefarious reasons and she in return offers an opportunity to fulfill that fantasy in a most memorable way. Two consenting adults with the added "strangers" ingredient leaving both happy and satisfied with a warm nostalgic "once in a lifetime" to dreamily look back on for the rest of their lives and wonder "where is she (he) now?"
