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’ve saved enough to get underway

and baby you can sleep while I drive

We’ll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe

and Barb’ra 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 from me?

Come on baby let’s get out of this town

I’ve 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
