Sleep While I Drive Lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

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 wanna be left alone
So baby, you can sleep while I drive

I'll pack my bags and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I've got some money I saved
Enough to get on the way
And baby, you can sleep while I drive

We'll go through to Tuscon 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
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
