Joe Ely - Sleepless in Love lyrics

He had hair... black as a fibergla** speedboat The morning air... was crisp as a brand new bank note He swaggered... like a surfer on a Louisiana dirtbike He swerved... like a trucker on the Dallas Turnpike They were SLEEPLESS IN LOVE, they were Lovers They were lovers, SLEEPLESS IN LOVE She had eyes, bright as a sunlit Airstream She told no lies, she hardly ever had a bad dream She was calm... still as a July Willow She was tender... soft as a K Mart Pillow They were SLEEPLESS IN LOVE, they were Lovers They were lovers, SLEEPLESS IN LOVE He held her close, tight as a Harley's drive chain Like a rose, riding on a midnight freight train They shivered, like the streamers in a gypsy car lot They melted, like rain on an Irish rooftop They went crazy, crazy as a the wild wild west wind When it chases a tumbleweed with too much top-spin They made love like, wild horses in a hurricane Chasing rainbows in a souped-up silver seaplane!
