i woke up in new york city
from my sleep behind the wheel
caught a train to the kipsey
and time stood still
she wrote me a letter from san diego
to qualify her luck
these flights connect through arizona
but i think i`ll stay stuck
so here i am
here i am
well i woke up in a car
i traced a way to fall
so i could see the mississippi on her knees
i`ve never been so lost
i`ve 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 i`d paint my body
until all my skin was gone
she wrote me a letter as we passed through rockford
she said she won`t forget
maybe i do maybe i don`t
but i know i haven`t yet
so here i am
here i am
well i woke up in a car
i traced a way to fall
so i could see the mississippi on her knees
i`ve never been so lost
i`ve 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 that ever i had known
that you`d be waiting there whenever i`m alone
but here i am
well i woke up in a car
i traced a way to fall
so i could see the mississippi on her knees
i`ve never been so lost
i`ve never felt so much at home
please write my folks and throw away my keys
well i woke up in a car
i traced a way to fall
so i could see the mississippi on her knees
i`ve never been so lost
i`ve 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 woke up in a car
