I woke up in New york city
from my sleep behind the wheel
caught a train to poughkeepsie
and time stood still
She wrote me a letter from san diego
to qualify her luck
these flights connect through arizona
but i think ill stay stuck
so here i am
here i am
Well i woke up in a car
i traced away the fog
so i could see the mississippi on her nees
ive never been so lost
ive never felt so much at home
please write my folks
and throw away my keys
i woke up in a car
i woke up in a car
i met a girl who kept tattoos
for homes that she had loved
if i were her id paint my body till all my skin was gone
She wrote me a letter
as we passed through rockford
she said she wont forget
maybe I do, maybe I dont
but I know I havent yet
so here I am
so here I am
Well i woke up in a car
i traced away the fog
so i could see the mississippi on her nees
ive never been so lost
ive never felt so much at home
please write my folks
and throw away my keys
i woke up in a car
i woke up in a car
and maybe I could live forever
if not ever I had known
that you'd be waiting there whenever
I am all alone
but here I am whoa....
Well i woke up in a car
i traced away the fog
so i could see the mississippi on her nees
ive never been so lost
ive never felt so much at home
please write my folks
and throw away my keys
(repeat)
i woke up in a car
i woke up in a car
i woke up in a car
