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
Saul said Red that's a comfortable bed it's gonna seem like a paid vacation
But that little bitty runt is 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
[ guitar ]
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
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
[ guitar ]
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 pull me a Rip Van Winkle
Well that sleepers gotta go or my name ain't Joe and I hope that lightnin' strikes me
I'll just lay there getting covered up in 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
Yeah show me how to get some sleep in a sleeper five by two
