Unsleeping Eye Lyrics & Tabs by The Band of Heathens
Unsleeping Eye
guitar chords lyrics
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
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
