You Can Sleep While I Drive - Melissa Etheridge

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 Barbra 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
