Can I sleep in your arms tonight sister Can I lay down with you here tonight I would shield you from the morning sun We'll stroll arm and arm in the kingdom come Can I sleep in your arms tonight You know I ain't never going back to Commerce City Who knows how many times they've taken my last twenty dollar bill There ain't no love lost there ain't no more time to kill All my brothers they're up on Jersey landfill And I ain't never going back to that town Can I sleep in your arms tonight sister Can I lay down with you here tonight Cuz hearing your voice can remind me of better days This is the voice that can carry me away Let me sleep in your arms tonight Darling wasn't it true what we learned As the whiskey finally eats your heart And where was that place I was born tonight It's the one that leads straight to your heart Can I sleep in your arms tonight sister Can I lay down with you here tonight Let me sleep in your arms tonight Can I sleep in your arms tonight sister
