lyrics

The big rigs on 91, they flash their high beams
And pass me by on the right
As I fight to keep my eyes on the road
And the radio reporters on the BBC
They're sweetly singing their lullaby
I'm tired, but I'm still two more hours from home
And now I'm low on coffee and I'm low on gas
But I'll pass the rest stop, cause there is no rest
For a restless dreamer like me

Asleep at the wheel and now I'm drifting
Blink of an eye, the damage done
Where will I be when this is over
- a ruined wreck on 91?
You know I would drive all night,
I'll take this ride one mile at a time
I'm living the dream
But I'm asleep at the wheel

The gig was good tonight, but when they raise the lights
It always ends up the same
It's late, and I'm packing the car up to drive
And it's highway to highway, and it's state to state
I've been heeding the signs, but I'm getting tired of waiting
Yes, I'm tired of staying inside of the lines
I'm low on patience and I'm low on faith
Am I wasting my life on this childhood chase?
Making time, and making believe

Asleep at the wheel and now I'm drifting
Blink of an eye, the damage done
Where will I be when this is over
- a ruined wreck on 91?
You know I would drive all night,
I'll take this ride one mile at a time
I'm living the dream
But I'm asleep at the wheel

(White one, black one, one- two- three
Counting cars, counting sheep)

Asleep at the wheel and now I'm drifting
Blink of an eye, the damage done
Where will I be when this is over
- a ruined wreck at 61?
You know I would drive all night,
I'll take this ride one mile at a time
I'm living the dream

(White one, black one, one- two- three
Counting cars, counting sheep)
