Can I sleep in your arms tonight sister

Can I lay down with you here tonight

I would shield you from the morning sun

We'll stroll arm and arm in the kingdom come

Can I sleep in your arms tonight

You know I ain't never going back to Commerce City

Who knows how many times they've taken my last twenty dollar bill

There ain't no love lost there ain't no more time to kill

All my brothers they're up on Jersey landfill

And I ain't never going back to that town

Can I sleep in your arms tonight sister

Can I lay down with you here tonight

Cuz hearing your voice can remind me of better days

This is the voice that can carry me away

Let me sleep in your arms tonight

Darling wasn't it true what we learned

As the whiskey finally eats your heart

And where was that place I was born tonight

It's the one that leads straight to your heart

Can I sleep in your arms tonight sister

Can I lay down with you here tonight

Let me sleep in your arms tonight

Can I sleep in your arms tonight sister
