Driving home to be with you
|
The highway's dividing, the city's in view
|
As usual, I'm almost on time
|
You're the last thing that's on my mind
|
I wish I could tell you the way that I feel
|
But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
|
|
No commotion, no screaming brakes
|
Most of it's over before I awake
|
From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips
|
While out my window, the horizon does flips
|
The worst part was hitting the ground -
|
Not the feeling so much as the sound
|
Can't help but wonder if all this is real
|
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
|
|
Rubberneck traffic and passersby
|
And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy
|
Stand around with their mouths open wide
|
I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside
|
With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried
|
Nobody here can know how I feel
|
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
|
|
I guess it's over now
|
Cause I've never seen so much
|
Never seen so much, never seen so much
|
Never seen so much, never seen so much
|
I guess it's over now
|
Cause I've never seen so much
|
Never seen so much, never seen so much
|
Never seen so much, never seen so much
|
So much blood
|
|
In all the confusion, there's something serene
|
I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
|
Now I'm floating above looking in
|
As the radio blares and wheels spin
|
I can see my face slump with a grin
|
And you...you're the last thing on my mind
|
You're the last thing on my mind
|
You're the last thing on my mind
|
You're the last thing on my mind
|
