[Verse 1] 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 Ill stay stuck [PreChorus] So here I am Here I am, whoa [Chorus] Well I woke up in a car I traced away the fog so I could see The Mississippi on her knees Ive never been so lost Ive never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys [PostChorus] I woke up in a car I woke up in a car [Verse 2] I met a girl who kept tattoos For homes that she had loved If I were her Id paint my body Until all my skin was gone She wrote me a letter As we passed through Rockford She said she wont forget And maybe I do, maybe I dont But I know I havent yet [PreChorus] So here I am Here I am, whoa [Chorus] Well I woke up in a car I traced away the fog so I could see The Mississippi on her knees Ive never been so lost Ive never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys [PostChorus] I woke up in a car I woke up in a car [Bridge] And maybe I could live forever If not ever I had known That youd be waiting there whenever I am all alone [PreChorus 2] But here I am, whoa [Chorus] Well I woke up in a car I traced away the fog so I could see The Mississippi on her knees Ive never been so lost Ive never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys [Chorus] Well I woke up in a car I traced away the fog so I could see The Mississippi on her knees Ive never been so lost Ive never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys [Outro] I woke up in a car I woke up in a car I woke up in a car
