About

Rob Thomas wrote this song about a time when he was 17. He was in Florida hitchhiking from Orlando to Daytona. He met a girl on the road and they were headed back to her place. All of a sudden on the road, while Rob was sleeping, she kicked him out of the car for no reason. She didn’t even take Rob...

Rest Stop Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just three miles from her rest stop
And she slams on the brakes
She said I tried to be, but I'm not
So could you please collect your things
Well, I don't wanna be cold, I don't wanna be cruel
But I gotta find more than what's happenin' with you
And if you'd open up the door

[Chorus]
She said, while you were sleepin'
I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you're dreamin' when
It came to mind that I didn't care
And I thought, hell, if it's over
Well, I had better end it quick, or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Have you forgotten?

[Verse 2]
Just three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth's too dry to rage
The light was shinin' from the radio
And I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled-up promise of this broken-down man
And as I opened up the door

[Chorus]
She said, "While you were sleepin'
I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you're dreamin' when
It came to mind that I didn't care"
And I thought, hell, if it's over
Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
While you were sleepin'
I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you're dreamin' when
It came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought hell if it's over
Well, I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?

[Chorus]
While you were sleepin'
I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you're dreamin' when
It came to mind that I didn't care
I thought, hell, if it's over
Well, I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
