I Guess I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

Troy Olsen


I'm livin' ninety miles an hour
I never stop to smell the flowers
And even though I've got my freedom
Seems like I'm always leavin'
No time to rest my head
I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead

Tonight thte moon is like a woman
Here beside me till the mornin'
But out here time is only borrowed
Sod I don't think about tomorrow
No time to rest my head
I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead

This white-line midnight highway
Won't let me stay too long
This endless road I'm ridin'
Lives in every song

This white-line midnight highway
Keeps goin' on and on
This endless road I'm ridin'
Lives in every song
Lives in every song

When my ashes hit the west wind
Somewhere a new soul is beginnin'
With brand new reasons for living
I know the good lord is forgiving
That's when I'll rest my head
