Rest Stop

We're just three miles from the rest stop

And she slams on the brakes

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

And 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 happened with you

So if you'd open up my 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

Then 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 reach it

A light was shining from the radio

And I could barely see her face

 

But she knew all the words that I never had said

She knew the crumbled up promise of a broken down man

As I opened up my door

 

Chorus

 

Have you forgotten

You just don't love to love like I love

 

Chorus

 

While you were sleeping

Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming when

It came to mind that I didn't care

Hell, if it's over

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

Are you listening

Can you hear me

Can you hear me
