[G]Sleep don't overtake me here, don't run me down like this
I got [G]miles before they gonna lay me down I ain't ready yet
No I ain't ther[C]e yet
[G]Quaalude Highway hypnotizing the lines across my face
[G]One more sign before my mind begins hallucinating
Can't stay[C] awake
So give me [D]something strong and let the night roll on to [G]day
Chorus:
Unsleeping [D]eye, don't you fail m[G]e now
Crack a window [D]wide and put your right foot [G]down
So [Am]daydream through the [C]night
But keep them [G]wheels a spinning round and round
Unsleeping [D]eye, say don't you fail m[G]e now
There's a girl at home she waiting up 'til dawn
Lord she could use some sleep
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
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
Chorus
Bridge:
[C]Blacktop asphalt grooving past all the rhythm in the lines
[C]I'm locked down deep into the pocket, the sunrise keeping my time
[C]All I ask is a tank of gas and a cup of coffee strong
[C]Highway moon gonna keep me moving, I'm driving all night long
Chorus
