Asleep at the Wheel Lyrics

it's taking a lot out of me
to tell you how long it will be
before i can spend some sweet time with you again
(sweet time)
i'm hoping i'll be finding success
(you know you will)
you know that i'll be trying my best
(you know i will)
the thousands of miles will not make me love you less

so i'll see the world while you stay home
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness

the dotted lines show us where we're supposed to go
we stay inside them in fear that we'll lose control
the night falls and the lights they provoke a thought of you

so think what you want of me
i'm leaving
i'll be falling asleep at the wheel
for once in my life i can say i am right about something
i've never been this positively certain
i'm leaving

fill me up with unleaded regular

we've got 500 miles before this night is over
by this time tomorow i'll be filling up again

so think what you want of me
i'm leaving
i'll be falling asleep at the wheel

trace the moment
trace the time
find the second i lost my mind
'cause i've been thinking for the longest time about me and you
so i'll see the world while you stay home
(ive been thinking about me and you)
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
(ive been thinking about me and you)

so i'll see the world while you stay home
(what are we going to do?)
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
(what are we going to do?)

for once in my life i can say i am right about something
i've never been this positively certain
i'm leaving
