Research

I've been listening to a lot of music lately trying to get together a list of things I might like to sing....always a good thing for a singer to have handy!

Tonight I stumbled across a couple of goodies!

A really cool Melissa Etheridge song "You Can Sleep While I Drive". It's a duet with Jewel....if you get the opportunity - give it a whirl on your record player!!!

The lyrics....

You can Sleep While I drive
Written by Melissa Etheridge.(© Almo Music Corp./M L E Music.)

Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
There's a chill in my bones
I don't want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while I 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 thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville
says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you glasses in Texas
A hat from New Orleans
And in the morning
you can tell me your dreams

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

Oh is it other arms you want to
Hold you the stranger
The lover you're free
Can't you get that with me

Come on baby let's get out of this town
I 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

I've also been listening a lot to Neko Case, and Corrine Bailey Rae...I've got a bit of a 'thing' for the ladies lately! Hmmmmm hope that is not indicative!

If you have a song suggestion - please let me know...remembering of course I'm one half an acoustic duo!
