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 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 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 mind1
