Sleeper, Five-By-Two

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a-rollin' this Jimmy on home, my bones are tired, and my eyes are red I know the little woman's sawin' lots of logs on a great big king size bed My best friend Saul installed me a sleeper on my rig for a pretty price too But I ain't had much sleep these last ten days 'cause that sleeper's just five-by-two [Verse 2] Saul said, "Red, that's a comfortable bed, it's gonna seem like a paid vacation" But that little bitty runt's either pullin' a stunt or got no imagination With your elbow in your nose and the other one in your toes and a jack tryin' to run you clean through Show me how to get some sleep in a sleeper five-by-two [Verse 3] I had to move that load on down the road 'cause I've got a deadline to keep But I'm gettin' just a litte more burned everyday 'cause I'm gettin' just a little less sleep Well, both of my knees are gaulded and there's a burn up the side of my head I can't afford a room 'cause I got a lotta bills and one is that king size bed [Verse 4] Well, that little bitty sleeper on the back of my cab ain't fit for a rabbit hutch Saul might a-went to college but if he did he didn't acknowledge much But if I wake up I'm gonna look Saul up and make him know what I've been through He's gonna show me how to sleep in a sleeper five-by-two [Verse 5] Coffee's keepin' me straight but I'm in terrible shape to show for twenty tons of steel But if you never been a fish in a sardine can then you couldn't figure how I feel I think I've had enough, this road's too tough, I'm gonna find me a brand new rig But first I'm gonna hit that king size bed and a-pull me a Rip Van Winkle [Verse 6] Well, that sleeper's gotta go or my name ain't Joe, and I hope that lightnin' strikes me I'll just lay there and get covered up with sweat wonderin' who up there don't like me I'm a-gonna tell Saul all I need is one more friend like you 'Cause a torture chamber is what he's built, it's a hot box five-by-two [Outro] Yeah, show me how to get some sleep in a sleeper five-by-two
