Unsleeping Eye

G
Sleep don’t overtake me here, don’t run me down like this
      G                                                                       C
I got miles before they gonna lay me down I ain’t ready yet, no I ain’t there yet
G
A quaalude highway hypnotizing the lines across my face
G                                                              C
One more sign before my mind begins hallucinating, can’t stay awake
           D                                            G
So give me something strong and let the night roll on today


[Chorus]

           D                           G
Unsleeping eye, said don’t you fail me now
               D                            G
Crack a window wide and put your right foot down
   Am                   C
So daydream through the night
              G
But keep them wheels a spinning round and round
           D                          G
Unsleeping eye, say don’t you fail me now


[Verse]

                G
Well, there’s a girl at home she waiting up ‘til dawn, lord she could use some sleep
    G                                                                           C
But I flash my brights and I dim my lights, I sink down a little deeper into my seat
        G
Just to get back home this old rolling stone, gone a thousand miles a night
   G                                                                     C
So grant me speed and eyes to see my lonely girl tonight, she’s so outta sight
           D                                     G
Lord don’t make me sleep like a refugee it ain’t right


[Chorus]

           D                      G
Unsleeping eye, don’t you fail me now
               D                            G
Crack a window wide and put your right foot down
   Am                    C
So daydreams through the night
              G
But keep them wheels a spinning round and round
           D                          G
Unsleeping eye, say don’t you fail me now


[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
So all I ask is a tank of gas and a cup of coffee strong
      C
And a highway moon gonna keep me moving, I’m driving all night long


[Chorus]

           D                      G
Unsleeping eye, don’t you fail me now
               D                            G
Crack a window wide and put your right foot down
   Am                   C
So daydream through the night
              G
But keep them wheels a spinning round and round
           D                          G
Unsleeping eye, say don’t you fail me now
