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 I'll 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 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
'Til 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 am all 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
