Rest Stop

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
