Lyrics Sleep with One Eye Open - Chris Thile, Michael Daves

Sleep with One Eye Open

I just found out today that little game you play
I’m just sleeping all my life away
You’ve been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I’m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
From now on (from now on)
All night long (all night long)
You ain’t gonna have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I’m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
There’s a honky-tonk down the road
Just about a mile or so
And I understand that’s where you spend your time
Baby, I’ve got news for you, your little game is through
From now on, darling, toe the line
From now on (from now on)
All night long (all night long)
You ain’t gonna have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I’m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
You thought you being wise
Hanging around with other guys
And leaving me to spend my time alone
Yeah, you’ll find out today, it don’t work that way
You’ve started a little game that two can play
From now on (from now on)
All night long (all night long)
You ain’t gonna have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I’m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Yes, I’m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
