Rest Your Weary Head

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Well I pulled off the highway around half past ten

The radio hummed like a tired old friend

Watched the pines lean slow in the dashboard glow

And I thought about the places I still wanna go

[Verse 2]

Rolled the window down let the cool air in

Somewhere a porch light was giving in

Told myself tomorrow I'll call my brother

Tell him I missed him more than any other

[Chorus]

Night my friend rest your weary head

Lay your troubles on the edge of the bed

Night my friend let the long day end

I'll be right here till the morning bends

Night my friend rest your weary head

[Verse 3]

I've been talking to strangers in parking lots

Trading old stories for whatever they got

Every town looks the same from a rented room

Same pale moon same quiet gloom

[Verse 4]

My father worked hard and he never complained

Left a toolbox and a heart unstained

I carry both though I don't know how

Just a tired man in a borrowed now

[Chorus]

Night my friend rest your weary head

Lay your troubles on the edge of the bed

Night my friend let the long day end

I'll be right here till the morning bends

Night my friend rest your weary head

[Breakdown]

Slow down slow down

Ain't no rush to be found

Slow down slow down

Lay it all on the ground

[Verse 5]

So close your eyes and let the miles go

The ceiling fan will spin real slow

I ain't got answers I ain't got a plan

Just two steady hands and a helping hand

[Chorus]

Night my friend rest your weary head

Lay your troubles on the edge of the bed

Night my friend let the long day end

I'll be right here till the morning bends

Night my friend rest your weary head
