You can sleep while I drive (1989)
1.
Come on baby, let's get out of this town,
I got a full tank of gas, with the top
rolled down.
Bb
Am F
There's a chill in my bones, I don't want
to be left alone,
Dm F C
so baby, you can
sleep while I drive.
2.
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar,
Dm F C
in my pocket I'll
carry my harp.
Bb Am F
I got some money I saved, enough to get
underway,
Dm F C
and baby, you can
sleep while I drive.
3.
We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fé,
Dm F C
and Barbara in
Nashville says we're welcome to stay.
Bb Am F
I'll buy you glasses in Texas, and a hat
from New Orleans,
Dm F C
and in the morning
you can tell me your dreams.
You know I've seen it before, this mist
that covers your eyes,
G
F C
you've been
looking for something that's not in your life.
Bb Am F
My intentions are true, won't you take me
with you,
Dm F C - Dm - C - Dm - C
and baby, you can sleep
while I drive.
Oh, oh, oh are there other arms you want
to ho....ld
you?
Bb
Am F
The stranger, the lover, you're free, can't you get that
with me?
Dm F C
And baby, you can sleep while I drive.
4.
Come on baby let's get out of this town,
Dm F C
I've got a tank full of gas with the top
rolled down.
Bb Am F
If you won't take me with you, I'll go
before night is through,
Dm F C
and baby, you can
sleep while I drive.
