Unsleeping Eye

Sleep don't overtake me here

Don't run me down like this

I got miles before they gonna lay me down

I ain't a-ready yet, no I ain't there yet

A quaalude Highway hypnotizing the lines across my face

One more sign before my mind begins hallucinating

Can't stay awake

So give me something strong, let the night roll on to day

So unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now

Crack a window wide and put your right foot down

Daydream through the night

But keep them ol' wheels a-spinning round and round

Unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now

Well there's a girl at home she waiting up 'til dawn

Lord she could use some sleep

Well I 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

So 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

So unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now

So crack a window wide and put your right foot down

Daydream through the night

But keep them ol' wheels a-spinning round and round

Unsleeping eye, say don't you fail, say don't you fail me now

(Instrumental)

Hey-hey, the blacktop asphalt grooving past all the rhythm in the lines

I'm locked down deep into the pocket, the sunrise keeping my time

So all I ask is a tank of gas and a cup of coffee strong

And a highway moon a-gonna keep a-me moving, I'm driving all night long

Unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now

So crack a window wide and put your right foot down

Daydream through the night

But keep them ol' wheels a-spinning round and round

Unsleeping eye, say don't you fail me now

Unsleeping eye, oh good Lord say don't you fail me now

Say don't you fail me now

Say don't you fail me now

Say don't you fail me now, oh

Say don't you fail me
