Sleeper, Five-By-Two Lyrics by Red Simpson

Truck Drivin’ Fool

0

[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
