[Verse 1]

Just three miles from her rest stop

And she slams on the brakes

She said I tried to be, but I'm not

So could you please collect your things

Well, I don't wanna be cold, I don't wanna be cruel

But I gotta find more than what's happenin' with you

And if you'd open up the door

[Chorus]

She said, while you were sleepin'

I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you're dreamin' when

It came to mind that I didn't care

And I thought, hell, if it's over

Well, I had better end it quick, or I could lose my nerve

Are you listening?

Can you hear me?

Have you forgotten?

[Verse 2]

Just three miles from the rest stop

And my mouth's too dry to rage

The light was shinin' from the radio

And 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

[Chorus]

She said, "While you were sleepin'

I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you're dreamin' when

It came to mind that I didn't care"

And I thought, hell, if it's over

Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve

Are you listening?

Can you hear me?

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

While you were sleepin'

I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you're dreamin' when

It came to mind that I didn't care

So I thought hell if it's over

Well, I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve

Are you listening?

Can you hear me?

[Chorus]

While you were sleepin'

I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you're dreamin' when

It came to mind that I didn't care

I thought, hell, if it's over

Well, I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve

Are you listening?

Can you hear me?
