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 wanna 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 through Tucson up to Santa Fe

And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay

I'll buy you boots down in Texas, a hat from New Orleans

And in the mornin' you can tell me your dreams

You know I've seen it before, this mist that covers your eyes

You been lookin' for somethin' 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
