Rest Stop

Just three miles from the rest stop

And she slams on the brakes

She said I tried to be but I'm not

So could you please collect your things

I don't want to be cold

I don't want to be cruel

But I gotta find more than what's happening with you

And if you would open up the door

She said, "While you were sleeping

I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming

When it came to mind that I didn't care

And I thought hell if it's over

Well I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve

Are you listening? Can you hear me?

Have you forgotten?"

Just three miles from the rest stop

And my mouth's too dry to rage

The light was shining from the radio

I could barely see her face

But she knew all the words that I never had said

She knew the crumpled up promise of this broken down man

As I opened up the door, she said

"While you were sleeping

I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming

When it came to mind that I didn't care

And I thought hell if it's over

Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve

Are you listening? Can you hear me?"

"While you were sleeping

I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming

When it came to mind that I didn't care

So I thought hell if it's over

Well I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve

Are you listening? Can you hear me?"

"While you were sleeping

I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming

When it came to mind that I didn't care

I thought hell if it's over

Well I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve

Are you listening? Can you hear me?"
