A prayer for safe travels.


[Words & Music by John DeLore]

lyrics

Don’t fall asleep at the wheel tonight
Get yourself home safe and go to bed.
I’ll be along when the morning light
Lays a little kiss upon your head.

Ooh the sound of a train at evening
Leaving one station behind.
Now you will know what was on my mind
By reading all the words that I wrote up in the sky
With a smokestack way back when I was in love with you.

Don’t fall asleep at the wheel tonight
Turn up your radio.
Sing along to whatever comes on.
Make up the words if you don’t know them.

Ooh the sound of a signal fading
Leaving one station behind.
Now you will know what was on my mind
By reading all the words that I wrote up in the sky
With a smokestack way back when I was in love with you.

All alone on a late night highway
Headlights thrown upon the pavement and the pain.
You cross the great divide with your heavy feelings
And hurry home to these arms of mine...

Oh, don’t fall asleep at the wheel tonight
Get yourself home safe and go to bed.
I’ll be along when the morning light
Lays a little kiss upon your head.
