(original is in Dm; play slowly, deliberately)


        Dm                          C
Come on baby, let's get out of this town
        Dm                         C
I got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down
        F                                   Am        F
There's a chill in my bones, I don't want to be left alone
   Dm            F            C
So baby, you can sleep while drive.


I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I got some money I saved, enough to get underway
And baby, you can sleep while I drive.


We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you boots down in Texas, a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams.

               F
You know I've seen it before
                F          C
This mist that covers your eyes
             F                           F            C
You've been looking for something that's not in your life
    F                              Am           F
My intentions are true, won't you take me with you
     Dm             F           C
And baby, you can sleep while I drive.

Am  F   C
Oh, oh, oh is it other arms you want to
Am   F   C
h--o--ld   you, the stranger,
     F
the lover, you're free
           Am           F  (pause)
Can't you get that with me?


Come on baby, let's get out of this town
I've got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down
If you won't take me with you, I'll go before night is through
And baby, you can sleep while I drive.
