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
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 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

and 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
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

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 woke up in a car
