Sleepy Armadillo

Sleepy Armadillo

Sleepy Armadillo, lay your head
On your cement pillow, in your asphalt bed
Along with your friends, the skunk and raccoon
Dream your sleepy dreams under the Texas moon

Sleepy Armadillo, had your fun
Dodgin’ cars and pickups in the noonday sun
You’re plumb tucked out, the sun’s going down
How you gonna make it back to your home town?

Your mama tried to tell you, stay off that highway
There’s nothing there a young boy needs
But something inside you was looking (hungry) for adventure
Now you’re lyin in the weeds

Sleepy Armadillo, don’t you cry
Stretch your little legs right on up to the sky
And pretty soon the morning sun will arise
Sleepy Armadillo, Sleepy Armadillo, Sleepy Armadillo
Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
G’nite
