I Woke Up In A Car

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
