Sleep With One Eye Open Songtext
von Chris Thile & Michael Daves

I just found out today that little game you play
While I′m just sleeping all my life away
You've been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I′m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

From now on, all night long
You ain't gonna have a chance
To treat your daddy wrong
You been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

There′s a honky-tonk down the road
Just about a mile or so
And I understand that′s where you spend your time
Baby, I've got news for you, your little game is through
From now on, darling, toe the line


From now on, all night long
You ain′t gonna have a chance
To treat your daddy wrong
You been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

You thought you being wise
Hanging around with other guys
And leaving me to spend my time alone
Yeah, you′ll find out today, it don't work that way
You′ve started a little game that two can play

From now on, all night long
You ain't gonna have a chance
To treat your daddy wrong
You been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

Yes, I′m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
