Unsleeping Eye

Sleep don't overtake me here Don't run me down like this I got miles before they gonna lay me down I ain't a-ready yet, no I ain't there yet A quaalude Highway hypnotizing the lines across my face One more sign before my mind begins hallucinating Can't stay awake So give me something strong, let the night roll on to day So unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now Crack a window wide and put your right foot down Daydream through the night But keep them ol' wheels a-spinning round and round Unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now Well there's a girl at home she waiting up 'til dawn Lord she could use some sleep Well I flash my brights and I dim my lights I sink down a little deeper into my seat Just to get back home this old rolling stone Gone a thousand miles a night So grant me speed and eyes to see my lonely girl tonight She's so outta sight Lord don't make me sleep like a refugee it ain't right So unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now So crack a window wide and put your right foot down Daydream through the night But keep them ol' wheels a-spinning round and round Unsleeping eye, say don't you fail, say don't you fail me now (Instrumental) Hey-hey, the blacktop asphalt grooving past all the rhythm in the lines I'm locked down deep into the pocket, the sunrise keeping my time So all I ask is a tank of gas and a cup of coffee strong And a highway moon a-gonna keep a-me moving, I'm driving all night long Unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now So crack a window wide and put your right foot down Daydream through the night But keep them ol' wheels a-spinning round and round Unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now Unsleeping eye, oh good Lord say don't you fail me now Say don't you fail me now Say don't you fail me now Say don't you fail me now, oh Say don't you fail me
