I just wanna sleep
I just wanna sleep
That lovely, lazy swing and sway
A red line winding its way
To send me back on home
I’m tired
I’m sore
But there ain’t no seats left
And I’m too worn down to stand up
So I fall to the floor for rest
I just wanna sleep
The rail is rockin’ me
Like my momma once did
My metallic bassinet
Lurching me at a bullet pace
Still as soft and sweet
As her once welcomin’ embrace
I just wanna sleep
Surrounded by crisp shirts
And polished leather cases
Pitiful folks gettin’ ready
To say “I’m Home!”
To an inanimate living room
But like a swarm of rats
We scurry into darkness
Them in their sanctioned seats
And me in the cabin’s gutter
All curled up in my little ball
Head hanging ‘tween my knees
Hands holdin my thighs ‘gainst my chest
I’m tryin’ to remember
What it was like to be a baby
In a dark car
On an empty road
In a warm seat
With a dreary
Dreamy sky
At home in this rolling car
I’m dozin’ off
I just wanna sleep
I just wanna sleep.
