Catatonic 
 
Last night, you know, I just couldn't sleep. 
I was feeling kind of wired. 
Couldn't stop my mind from thingking 
of everything we'd say and do, 
anticipating you, in just three hundred miles. 
 
Got up early about a quarter to five. 
I've been cruising through the desert on this long hot drive, 
popping sunflower seeds, trying to keep myself alive. 
Won't stop. I'm making good time. 
Oh, making good time. 
 
I'm getting closer to your home state line. 
I can't wait to see you. It's been a long time. 
But my head is getting heavy as I'm passing by the levy, 
and I wish I was there in your loving arms. 
 
I've been good. Got nothing to complain, 
though the drone of this drive is numbing my brain, 
and this monotonous site slowly makes me insane. 
I'm a catatonic driver trying to win this race. 
 
And I'm loosing hold of my mind. 
Sleep is so hard to fight. 
 
Every mile marker seems so far away. 
When I got up this morning, did I pray? 
Got the air conditioner up and the radio loud, 
but nothing seems to dissipate this murky cloud. 
 
My body's so tired. I could melt in my seat. 
My eyelids want to lock every time I blink. 
I feel punch drunk. I just can't think. 
Too stupid to stop. Too drowsy to see. 
 
And I'm loosing hold of my mind. 
Sleep is so hard to fight. 
 
Every mile seems so far away, so far away. 
And I want to see you once again. 
 
Hear metal crunching metal. 
Feel it thrust hard down. 
Then I'm flying high, twisting around. 
Am I dreaming? I can't be awake 
cause that's my body on the side of this wide altered state. 
 
And I'm loosing hold of my mind. 
Sleep is so hard to fight. 
Can't have tomorrow if I blow it all today. 
Don't want the sorrow. 
I'm not looking for an early grave. 
I want to see you once again. 
I want to be myself again.
