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
