there´s a quiet time in the early dawn
before the mornin´ paper, before the coffee´s on
when there ain´t much movin´ in the world outside
oh i´d love to take a mornin´ ride
my baby knows it´s the time we share
she wakes me gently, brushes back her hair
and she moves into my arms sweet and slow
i can´t wait to get up and go
gonna take my baby on a mornin´ ride
when the sun comes slippin´ ´round the mountainside
´bout an hour, maybe two
ain´t nothin´ me and her would rather do
than see the green grass glist´nin´ in the mornin´ dew
while the world´s still damn spankin´ new
oh i know how beautiful the day will be
when she takes a mornin´ ride with me
and when we get back, it will feel so right
to just lay back and linger in the mornin´ light
then she´ll smile at me, thinkin´ where we´ve been
wantin´ me to take her again
i´m gonna take my baby on a mornin´ ride
when the sun comes slippin´ ´round the mountainside
for an hour, maybe two
ain´t nothin´ me and her would rather do
than see the green grass glist´nin´ in the mornin´ dew
while the world´s still damn spankin´ new
oh i know how beautiful the day will be
when she takes a mornin´ ride with me
oh i´m gonna take my baby on a mornin´ ride
when the sun comes slippin´ ´round the mountainside
´bout an hour, maybe two
ain´t nothin´ me and her would rather do
...and fade
