Jewel and Melissa Etheridge - You Can Sleep While I Drive

Recorded live at the "Doheny Mansion" in Los Angeles, CA,
October 10, 1995
Lyrics:
Come on baby lets get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
Theres a chill in my bones
I dont want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while I drive
Ill pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket Ill carry my harp
I got some money I saved
Enough to get underway
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Well go thorough tucson up to santa fe
And barbara in nashville says were welcome to stay
Ill buy you glasses in texas a hat from new orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams

You know Ive seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
Youve been looking for something
Thats not in your life
My intentions are true
Wont you take me with you
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Oh is it other arms you want to
Hold you the stranger
The lover youre free
Cant you get that with me

Come on baby lets get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
If you wont take me with you
Ill go before night is through
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Is this "Duets" edition available anywhere? These were some really spectacular musical moments, with Melissa, Paula, Jewel, and Joan Osborne. I wish I could see the video, because the chemistry between the performers is nothing short of electric.
