| Just three miles from the rest stop And she slams on the breaks She said I tried to be but I m not And could you please collect your things I don t wanna be cold I don t wanna be cruel But I gotta find more Than what s happening with you 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 So I thought - hell if it s over 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 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 So I thought - hell if it s over I had better end it quick Or I could lose my nerve Are you listening - can you hear me Have you forgotten 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 So I thought - hell if it s over I had better end it quick Or I could lose 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 So I thought - hell if it s over I had better end it quick Or I could lose all my nerve Are you listening - can you hear me |
