Standing here at the side of the road
I don't have any place that I really have to go
the sun is shining and I'm feeling alright
so why don't you slow down and give me a ride
and it feels like I've just woken up
and I've been sleeping for so long
long legs walking down the hot city street
dark eyes flashing make my heart miss a beat
I think I'll go in her direction, just for a while
and I'll love her for a moment if she gives me a smile
and it feels like I've just woken up
and I've been sleeping for so long
standing on the corner now, singing a song
making up the words as I go along
see the coins in my case as they sparkle in the sun
and if you like the music you can throw another one
and it feels like I've just woken up
and I've been sleeping for so long
back out on the highway as the trucks go rumbling by
whistling a tune under the bright blue sky
there isn't any place that I would rather be
but there's still a lot of things that I would like to see
and it feels like I've just woken up
and I've been sleeping for so long
