Tom: G
G
Sleep don’t overtake me here, don’t run me down like this
G C
I got miles before they gonna lay me down I ain’t ready yet, no I ain’t there yet
G
A quaalude highway hypnotizing the lines across my face
G C
One more sign before my mind begins hallucinating, can’t stay awake
D G
So give me something strong and let the night roll on today
[Chorus]
D G
Unsleeping eye, said don’t you fail me now
D G
Crack a window wide and put your right foot down
Am C
So daydream through the night
G
But keep them wheels a spinning round and round
D G
Unsleeping eye, say don’t you fail me now
[Verse]
G
Well, there’s a girl at home she waiting up ‘til dawn, lord she could use some sleep
G C
But I flash my brights and I dim my lights, I sink down a little deeper into my seat
G
Just to get back home this old rolling stone, gone a thousand miles a night
G C
So grant me speed and eyes to see my lonely girl tonight, she’s so outta sight
D G
Lord don’t make me sleep like a refugee it ain’t right
[Chorus]
D G
Unsleeping eye, don’t you fail me now
D G
Crack a window wide and put your right foot down
Am C
So daydreams through the night
G
But keep them wheels a spinning round and round
D G
Unsleeping eye, say don’t you fail me now
[Bridge]
C
Blacktop asphalt grooving past all the rhythm in the lines
C
I’m locked down deep into the pocket, the sunrise keeping my time
C
So all I ask is a tank of gas and a cup of coffee strong
C
And a highway moon gonna keep me moving, I’m driving all night long
[Chorus]
D G
Unsleeping eye, don’t you fail me now
D G
Crack a window wide and put your right foot down
Am C
So daydream through the night
G
But keep them wheels a spinning round and round
D G
Unsleeping eye, say don’t you fail me now
