Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel

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
