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
here i am
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 met a girl who kept tattoos
for homes that she had loved
if i were here i'd paint my body
till 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
but here i am
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
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
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
