Waking Up To Me

Waking Up to Me
It's been a long, cold, cold night
it's three in the morning
and I'm driving
with one broken headlight
On the radio storm warnings
And I'm calling just to tell you
But you will not believe
that come sunrise
when your eyes are wide open
you'll be waking up to me

I got a waitress at the table
with one coffee, one shot
I threw them back and weighed my options I've got an aching, Baby
aching to drive on back but it's snowing clear to Virginia

I am calling just to tell you
but you will not believe
that I'd drive all night
half across this country
to feel you wrap your arms around me
around me

Out on the highway lately
the miles, they don't talk back
they roll beneath the wheels behind me
It's a toll road winding
you give time but you never get time back
Hey, if you love me
I need reminding

I am calling just to tell you
but you will not believe
that come sunrise
when your eyes are wide open
you'll be waking up to me
