Lyrics You Can Sleep While I Drive - Melissa Etheridge

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 saved… Enough to get underway
And baby you can sleep while I drive
We’ll go thorough 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
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 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
