Workin’
I’m playing in a band
We just got some gigs in L.A.
Sleepin’
On somebody’s floor
Ain’t the way I wanna spend my day
Hopin’
That I can catch a break
My clunker’s gonna take me home
Drivin’
Down Highway 99
Cruising down the great unknown
It’s getting late
But I can’t wait
To fall asleep in my own bed
The miles go on
Into the dawn
And I’m just hanging by a thread
When the red light’s flashing and the engine’s up in smoke
And you’re falling asleep at the wheel
Count your blessings and your change
Yeah, I know it may sound strange
But you’re only halfway to Bakersfield
Driftin’
The radio is on
I just need to stay awake
Thinkin’
Did I just miss my turn
This all might be a big mistake
It’s getting late
But I can’t wait
To fall asleep in my own bed
The miles go on
Into the dawn
And I’m just hanging by a thread
When the red light’s flashing and the engine’s up in smoke
And you’re falling asleep at the wheel
Count your blessings and your change
Yeah, I know it may sound strange
But you’re only halfway to Bakersfield
When the red light’s flashing and the engine’s up in smoke
And you’re falling asleep at the wheel
Count your blessings and your change
Yeah, I know it may sound strange
But you’re only halfway to Bakersfield
When the red light’s flashing and the engine’s up in smoke
And you’re falling asleep at the wheel
Count your blessings and your change
Yeah, I know it may sound strange
But you’re only halfway to Bakersfield
