Melissa Etheridge Lyrics

Album: Brave and Crazy

You Can Sleep While I Drive Lyrics

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
