Lyrics

[ back ]

Unsleeping Eye

Sleep don´t overtake me here don´t run me down like this
I got miles before they gonna lay me down and I ain´t ready yet
No I ain´t there yet
Quaalude Highway hypnotzing the lines across my face
One more sign before my mind begins hallucinating
Can´t stay awake
So give me something strong and let the night roll on to day

Chorus:
Unsleeping eye , don´t you fail me now
Crack a window wide and put your right foot down
Daydream through the night
but keem them wheels a spinning round and round
Unsleeping eye , don´t you fail me now

There´s a girl at home she waiting up ´til dawn
Lord she could use some sleep
So flash my brights and i dim my lights
I sink down a little deeper into my seat
Just to get back home this old rolling stone gone a thousand miles a night
Grant me speed and eyes to see my lonely girl tonight
She´s so outta sight
Lord don´t make me sleep like a refugee it ain´t right

Chorus:
Unsleeping eye , don´t you fail me now
Crack a window wide and put your right foot down
Daydream through the night
but keem them wheels a spinning round and round
Unsleeping eye , don´t you fail me now

Blacktop asphalt grooving past all the rhythm in the lines
Locked down deep into the pocket
Sunrise keeping my time
All I ask is a tank of gas and a cup of coffee strong
And a Highway moon gonna keep me moving
I´m driving all night long

Chorus:
Unsleeping eye , don´t you fail me now
Crack a window wide and put your right foot down
Daydream through the night
but keem them wheels a spinning round and round
Unsleeping eye , don´t you fail me now
