Rest Stop

Just three miles from the rest stop

She slams on the breaks

She said, "I tried to be but I'm not

And could you please collect your things"

Well, I don't wanna be cold

I don't wanna be cruel

But I gotta find more than

What's happening with you

An' if you'd open up the door

She said, "While you were sleeping

I was listening to the radio

And wondering what you're dreaming when

It came to mind that I didn't care"

And I thought hell if it's over

Well, I had better end it quick

Or I could lose my nerve

Are you listening? Can you hear me?

Have you forgotten?

Just three miles from the rest stop

And my mouth's too dry to rage

The light was shining from the radio

An' I could barely see her face

But she knew all the words that I never had said

She knew the crumpled up promise of this

Broken down man and as I opened up the door

She said, "While you were sleeping

I was listening to the radio

And wondering what you're dreaming when

It came to mind that I didn't care"

And I thought hell if it's over

And I had better end it quick

Or I could lose my nerve

Are you listening? Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

While you were sleeping

Well, I was listening to the radio

And wondering what you're dreaming when

It came to mind that I didn't care

So I thought hell if it's over

Well, I had better end it quick

Or I could lose all my nerve

Are you listening? Can you hear me?

While you were sleeping

I was listening to the radio

And wondering what you're dreaming when

It came to mind that I didn't care

I thought hell if it's over

Well, I had better end it quick

Or I could lose all my nerve

Are you listening? Can you hear me?
