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've saved enough to get underway
and baby you can sleep while I drive
We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe
and Barb'ra 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 from me?
Come on baby let's get out of this town
I've 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
Back on "oh...is it other arms you want to....", that first G
might be a G7. I think the G sounds better, but be your own judges...
Any requests for my next endeavor?
Tina
