You Can Sleep While I Drive

[Verse 1]

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 wanna be left alone

So, baby, you can sleep while I drive

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

We'll go through 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

[Verse 4]

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

[Bridge]

Oh, is it other arms you want to

Hold you? The stranger

The lover, you're free

Can't you get that with me?

[Verse 5]

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
