You Can Sleep While I Drive
Come on baby let's get out of this town.
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down,
There's a chill in my bones.
I don't want to be left alone.
So baby you can sleep while I drive.
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar,
In my pocket I'll carry my harp.
I got some money I saved,
Enough to get underway.
And baby you can sleep while I drive.
We'll go thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe.
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay.
I'll buy you glasses in Texas, a hat from New Orleans,
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams.
You know I've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes.
You've been looking for something
That's not in your life.
My intentions are true,
Won't you take me with you?
And baby you can sleep while I drive.
Oh is it other arms you want to
Hold you? The stranger,
The lover, you're free.
Can't you get that with me?
Come on baby let's get out of this town.
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down.
If you won't take me with you
I'll go before night is through....
And baby you can sleep while I drive
