Just three miles from the 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 want to be cold, I don't want to be cruel
But I gotta find more than what's happening with you
And if you would open up the door..."
She said, "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"
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?
Just three miles from the rest stop and my mouth's too dry to rage
The 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 crumpled up promise of this broken down man
And as I opened up the door...
She said, "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"
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?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
(Can you hear me?) Can you hear me?
"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"
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?
"While you were sleeping
Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming

Are you listening? Can you hear me?
