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
