Somewhere in north Texas
My father is driving fast
Sleeping through the rumble strip
While mom’s at home taking a bath
He’s asleep at the wheel
In my backyard in north Texas
On the hottest summer night
Hummingbirds fall all around us
Their hearts stopped beating in mid-flight
He’s asleep at the wheel
?
You want to hear the funny part?
My father knows these old rooms
Twice as well as any one of us
He’s asleep at the wheel
