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
