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 bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I've got some money I saved, enough to get under way
And baby, you can sleep while I drive
We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you glasses it Texas, a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me you're dreams
(Strum)
You know I've seen it before, this mist that covers you're eyes
You're looking for something that is not in your life
(Pick)
My intentions are true, won't you take me with you
And baby, you can sleep while I drive
(Guitar break (Pick))
(Strum)
OOOh oo OOOh is it other arms you want to
Ho-- OOh oo --ld You
(Pick)
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'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
(Sounds best on a 12-string Guitar)
