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 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

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?

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

As I opened up the door

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?

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?

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?
