[G]
[C]
I'm a-rollin' this jimmy on home, my bones are tired and my eyes [G] are red.
I know the little woman sawin' lots of logs on a great big king [C]-size bed.
My best friend Saul installed me a sleeper on my rig for a pretty [F] price, too.
But I [G] ain't had much sleep these last ten days, cause that sleeper's just five [C] by two.
[F] Saul said, Red, that's a comfortable bed, it's [C] gonna seem like a paid vacation.
But that little bitty runt's either pullin' a stunt or got no [G] imagination.
With [C] your elbow in your nose and the other one in your toes and a jack tryin' to run you [F] clean through,
[G] show me how to get some sleep in a sleeper five [C] by two.
[G]
[C]
I had to move that load on down the road, cause I've got a deadline [G] to keep.
But I'm gettin' just a little more burned every day, cause I'm gettin' just a little less [C] sleep.
Well, both of my knees are gaunted and there's a burn up the side of [F] my head.
I [G] can't afford a room, cause I got a lot of bills and one is that king [C]-size bed.
Well, [F] that little bitty sleeper on the back of my cab [C] ain't fit for the rabbit hutch.
Saul might have went to college, but if he did, he didn't ignore it [G] much.
[D] But [C] if I wake up, I'm gonna look Saul up and make him know what I've [F] been through.
[G] He's gonna show me how to sleep in a sleeper five [C] by two.
[G]
[C]
Coffee's keepin' me straight, but I'm in terrible shape.
Just chauffeur 20 tons [G] of steel.
But if you've never been a fish in a sardine can, then you couldn't figure how [C] I feel.
I think I've had enough, this road's too tough.
I'm gonna find me a brand [F] new ringle.
[G] But first I'm gonna hit that king-size bed and I'll pull me a Rip [C] Van Winkle.
Well, [F] that sleeper's gotta go or my name ain't Joe.
[C] And I hope that lightning strikes me.
I'll just lay there and get covered up with sweat.
Wondering who up there don't [G] like me.
[C] I'm gonna tell Saul all I need is one more friend [F] like you.
[G] Cause a torture chamber is what he's built.
[G] It's a hotbox [C] five by two.
Yeah, [G] show me how to get some sleep in a sleeper five [C] by two.
