Rest Awhile

Rest Awhile - Bobby Bare

Does anyone know of a girl

Who might like a tired old boy

On a rusty old bike

Who just pulled in today

From the Florida Glades

And just got to stop and rest awhile

And rest awhile

Does anyone know of someone who can use

A hard working fool

Who don't ever touch booze

Who's only vice is a roll of a dice

And he's just got to stop and rest awhile

And rest awhile

Easy there lady I don't want no trouble

I'll pay for my chili and leave

Easy there mister I got the money

And if I was you I'd let go of my sleeve

Does anyone know of a place I can sleep

Where I won't hear the cry

Of the wind as she weeps

For a poor wandering soul

Who got no place to go

And just got to stop and rest awhile

And rest awhile

No fellers you can't have a ride cause my bike

And my girls I don't share

Hey sheriff thank you for stoppin'

And being concerned bout the length of my hair

Can anyone lend me a half tank of gas

And I guess that a smile

Would be too much to ask

Cause your warm friendly town

Don't want my kind around

And I guess I can't stop

And rest awhile and rest awhile

Hello mama your boys comin' home cause my bike

And my dreams all got wrecked

No mama don't hung up the phone I'm sorry

That I had to call you collect

Can anyone lend me a half tank of gas

And I guess that a smile

Would be too much to ask

Your warm friendly town don't

Want my kind around

I guess I can't stop and rest awhile

And rest awhile
