I woke up in New York City From the steep 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 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 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
