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 |
