Just three miles from the rest stop
and she slams on the breaks
she said i tried to be but i'm not
so could you please collect your things
i don't wanna be cold, i don't wanna be cruel
but i've gotta find more than what's happenin' with you
and if you'd open up the door, and she said...
Chorus:
While you were sleeping
i was listening to the radio
and wonderin' what your dreaming when
it came to mind that i didn't care
and i thought, hell if it's over
well i'd better end it quick or i could lose my nerves
are you listening?
can you hear me?
have you forgotten?
Just three miles from the rest stop
and my mouth's to dry to rage
the light was shinin' from the radio
i could barely see her face
but she knew all the words that i never had said
she knew the crumpled up promises
of this broken down man
and as i opened up the door, she said...
(chorus)
solo
(chorus)
