        Em (022000@1)                        DCome (xx0232@1)on baby, let's get out of this town
        Em (022000@1)                       DI (xx0232@1)got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down
        A (x02220@1)                                 Bm (x24432@1)      GThere's (320003@1)a chill in my bones, I don't want to be left alone
   Em (022000@1)          G (320003@1)          DSo (xx0232@1)baby, you can sleep while drive.


I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I got some money I saved, enough to get underway
And baby, you can sleep while I drive.


We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you boots down in Texas, a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams.

               AYou (x02220@1)know I've seen it before
                G (320003@1)        DThis (xx0232@1)mist that covers your eyes
             A (x02220@1)                         G (320003@1)          DYou've (xx0232@1)been looking for something that's not in your life
    A (x02220@1)                            Bm (x24432@1)         GMy (320003@1)intentions are true, won't you take me with you
     Em (022000@1)           G (320003@1)         DAnd (xx0232@1)baby, you can sleep while I drive.

Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1) DOh, (xx0232@1)oh, oh is it other arms you want to
Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) Dh--o--ld (xx0232@1)  you, the stranger,
     Athe (x02220@1)lover, you're free
           Bm (x24432@1)         G (320003@1)(pause)
Can't you get that with me?


Come on baby, let's get out of this town
I've got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down
If you won't take me with you, I'll go before night is through
And baby, you can sleep while I drive.
